For years, child cadets with special abilities have trained inside the Sims-an advanced virtual battlefield designed to help them master their powers and defend against the Splicer Invasion.
None have ever reached Sim 299. Except Aidan.
He doesn't sleep. He doesn't need to. While other cadets rest, Aidan trains. While others dream, he fights. His sleepless mind and special abilities give him an edge no one can explain-and no one can match.
Simulation after simulation falls behind him. Victories stack. Records shatter.
But the deeper Aidan goes, the clearer it becomes: the Sim isn't just training him. It's testing him.
No one knows what waits beyond Sim 299. Command says it's just another level. Aidan isn't so sure. Something inside the system is watching him. Guiding him. Pushing him toward the final simulation.
If he survives the last test, he may unlock the secret that could end the Splicer War. If he fails, the war may be the least of humanity's problems.
I Am Sleepless: Sim 299 launches the highly praised sci-fi adventure series by award-winning author Johan Twiss. Crafted for upper middle-grade readers, this thrilling story delivers nonstop action, big twists, and a hero you'll root for-making it just as exciting for adults as it is for kids.

About the Author :
My name is Johan Twiss. It's a pleasure to meet you and thank you for your interest in my books. Besides being an author, I'm also a husband, a father, a church volunteer, and a business owner. As such, I am sleepless. I often find myself staying up late into the night, and then waking up in the wee hours of the morning, as my mind races with ideas faster than a particle accelerator. Currently, I live outside Dallas, Texas with my sweetheart and our 5 crazy kids. We enjoy playing games, watching movies, having jam sessions on a variety of instruments and throwing the gauntlet down for Family Fight Night. Yes, you read that correctly-- Family Fight Night. We suit up in the sparring gear and my kids attack me, practicing their blocks and strikes from martial arts classes. Basically, they get to hit dad and we have a great time. Have a question? Complaint? Want to send me a gift card to the Cheesecake Factory? Simply reach out to me at my website www.iamsleepless.weebly.com (I can also tell your future at no extra cost, although gift cards to Cheesecake Factory tend to make the predictions more accurate.)
