Open Road Integrated Media will publish Andrea J. Buchanan’s Gift, a multimedia young adult e-book conceived to take advantage of new e-reading technologies. The paranormal story by the international bestselling author of The Daring Book For Girls features a range of multimedia content that is an integral part of the story. It is Open Road's first YA title.
Buchanan said: “Gift is the perfect project for such an undertaking, as it is a ghost story for young-adult readers, the kind of supernatural story that is enjoyable as a traditional novel and yet brimming with potential for the deepening experience that enhanced content allows—content that exists to support a book and further the experience of reading it.”
Gift will incorporate both triggered events and enhanced content that becomes available as a reader progresses through the story. It will be on sale as an Open Road E-riginal in February 2012.
