Gift will incorporate both triggered events and enhanced content that becomes available as a reader progresses through the story. For example:
- Music: Audio tracks and music videos written and performed “by” one of the main characters are embedded within the story, with additional videos and music available as added content, creating a soundtrack to the book
- Art: A graphic novel created “by” one of the characters is revealed as the reader reaches certain chapters of Gift, with a complete, extended version available when a reader reaches the end of the story
- Triggered Events: Sound events and visual effects are triggered at key points throughout the book
- Additional Content: A journal written “by” one of the characters is featured at the end of the book, allowing readers to go deeper into the character’s experience
Barbara Marcus, Open Road's adviser for children's and young adult publishing said: "When we read the proposal for Gift, we were totally intrigued, but the real gift of Andi Buchanan is that she has written a wonderful compelling story and has seamlessly integrated technology to create a reading experience that embraces today's digital capabilities. Open Road is thrilled to be publishing this special new category of book."
