"Thunkable enables anyone to build their own beautiful mobile apps. Using drag and drop code, students can start from scratch or remix a sample app. Created app projects are accessible on both iOS and Android platforms. Thunkable has an active community with regular design challenges to keep students thinking outside the box with their app creations." (AASL)

"With the free version of Thunkable, all app projects are set to public mode. This means that all projects are automatically included in the Thunkable Public Gallery, for anyone to preview and remix. With a PRO membership, you have the ability to create and edit private projects. This means that no one else will have access to your apps." There are paid versions available as well.

This is a great assignment if you are trying to tap into procedural knowledge. You can provide a few choices for the manual or let students select their own. Some examples may be How to Graduate Hogwarts, How to Rule the World, How to Stay Calm in Any Situation - any theme related to the novel that students have read!
