Summary/Abstract: The way according to which children and young people interact with the literary texts today is deeply influenced by internet and by the digital context in which we are absorbed: in effects, the impact of the new technologies of both the communication and information is, on one hand, modifying the nature of literary texts and, on the other hand, producing new forms of story, included some narrative video games. We are not able, moreover, to hypothesize that the literary “trespassing” of the digital multi-medial world, of the internet technology and of the CDROMs, are replacing the traditional book in the mediation of contemporary children’s literature.
