New Online Virtual World for Kids

Based on the books by John Bittleston, The Travels of Wiglington and Wenks, an online virtual world for kids aged 7 to 14, is due to launch in the Christmas of 2009. I've signed up for the notification of its launch, and will try it on for size.

If reality lives up to the hype, it sounds good. The site says "parents can look forward to an educational and safe site for their children where they will be learning about history, geography, landmarks, famous people, inventions, animals and more. And for the children, they can expect hours of exploration fun."

Kids will be able to:

travel to factual and mysterious places around the world
travel through time and space
meet famous people from the past
play dozens of enriching and fun games
make new friends and party with them
buy exotic islands
build culture-inspired houses
wear clothes from different countries
explore secret locations
solve mysteries and puzzles

I've never read the books, so that's another thing to explore.
