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.

A brilliantly written book that will exercise your imagination - Bridget Mattson (Amazon Top 1000 Reviewer ) In the beginning, I was thinking to myself "oh great, another science fiction book", but those thoughts were quickly changed to "wow, what a science fiction book". This book incorporates science fiction elements with fantasy elements and the result is nothing short of spectacular. A huge hit! - Mama's Little Minions This book was a huge hit with my 11 year old son. He hates to read so imagine my shock & joy when he asked to use my tablet and sat down and read this book! He would get super excited and engrossed in his reading. I dare you not to get sucked into the plot - Sandy Toes (Amazon Top 1000 Reviewer) I almost passed on this book, because although I like sci-fi, I'm not normally a fan of YA, especially when the main protagonist is only 12 years old, but I dare you not to get sucked into the plot despite yourself.
