The Amanda Project
The Amanda Project is the story of Amanda Valentino, told through an interactive website and book series for readers aged 13 & up. On the website, readers are invited to become a part of the story as they help the main characters search for Amanda.
From the Happy Cog site: The writing-focused social media network is designed and written as if by characters from the Amanda novels, and encourages readers to enter the novels’ world by joining the search for Amanda, following clues and reading passages that exist only online, and ultimately helping to shape the course of the Amanda narrative across eight novels.

The user pages and profile pages had to be consistent with the rest of the site.
