Up to Us

Nobody knows what to do with Emily; her teachers, her father – not even herself. But when their homes are suddenly overrun, Emily discovers that her father’s been preparing her all her life. But for what exactly? 


WRITTEN BY GAME DEVELOPERS

This jaw-dropping, heart-warming and nail-biting book was written in a unique way. Fans got to read each version, and in search of perfection the book was rewritten 14 times! Produced by game-developers and filmmakers, expect a series you’ve never read before. 


MYSTERY, SUSPENSE, LOVE.

Up to Us moves at high-speed, and switches between 3 heroes, each written differently, each having information and skills the others do not. Only you, the reader, are the true expert in the story. In “Up to Us” it’s up to you.


EMILY is a rebel. 

KEVIN is an introvert. 

REX is an outcast. 

None of them they fit in anywhere, until the world changes for good. When life seems to crumble, they seem to grow stronger. Slowly they discover something their parents knew. Something that was kept from them. Something that will make all the difference. Something that will bring them together.


INCREDIBLE ART INCLUDED

Up to US comes with breathtaking illustrations on every other page. It features a special concept-art section at the end. Get ready for an experience that reads like a movie and looks like one too. 


BIG THEMES

“What is my place in an ever-changing world?”

“What if my faults are actually strengths?”

“What would I do for those I love?”

“Will I stay when everybody runs?”

“What is it that makes us human?”

Up to Us asks the questions everybody asks. You don’t know what you’re made of until you battle against all odds. 


IT'S NOT JUST A BOOK, IT'S A PHENOMENON

This book was tested on those who DON'T like reading. Author Tim Tom asked teenagers to simply read the first page, if they wanted to stop reading after that, they were free to do so. Tim even put the latest video-games in the test-room, to tempt the teenagers away from reading. The book had to be good enough to beat gaming! 

In the final version of the book, all non-readers kept going until the end. So did those who loved reading. Both boys, girls, men and women loved it. That's when it was ready to be published. And here it is!


WHAT MAKES IT SO DIFFERENT?

Author Tim Tom was frustrated with the low quality of young adult stories. This sparked an idea; what if books were written in a completely different way? By working with a team of writers (like TV-series do) and by testing the finished story (like movie studios do), Tim Tom uses a completely different writing-approach, making this book so amazing.


FOR ALL AGES

Up to Us is perfect for Young Adults, Middle Readers and families alike. Its deeper themes will be picked up by adults, while its irresistible story is an instant draw for all ages. Enjoy it by yourself or read it to others--it's perfect for both. Girls will enjoy a strong female hero who doesn't need a guy to save her.


HOW DOES THIS BOOK FEEL?

That's impossible to answer because the story tumbles from one emotion to the other. From deeply-loving to meaningful to a rapid rollercoaster of plot-twists that leaves you gasping. Although there's never a boring moment, only you can decide what this book feels like to you. Will you?


In Up to Us it's Up to YOU. So what are you waiting for?
