INTERACTIVE FICTION NOVELS

Not just stories to read—stories to shape.

Our interactive novels combine choice-driven storytelling with social-emotional language, helping readers explore focus, motivation, relationships, and resilience from the inside out.

Inside our interactive novels, you’ll find:

  • Choice-driven moments that let you decide how the characters respond and decide what happens next

  • Relatable inner “brain voices” that reflect stress, focus, and motivation

  • Short brain puzzles woven into the story as thinking breaks and coping strategies

  • A realistic look at starting high school—nerves and awkwardness included

With dozens of possible story paths...

You can return to these books for comfort reads or for new brain adventure discoveries!

When cell phones are banned at school, freshman Loo has to manage high school without his usual support.

No scrolling. No games, videos, or music. No easy escape.

Instead, Loo is left with his racing thoughts, a brand-new school, and a brain that’s all over the place as he’s trying to navigate classes, socializing, and unexpected challenges.

With humor, heart, and a few brain-teasing puzzles along the way, Powered Off invites readers to explore what happens when you unplug… and it turns out, powering off might be the start of something epic.

Book cover titled "Powered Off" by A.L. Marshall, with a blue background. The cover features a black and white illustration of a brain with a superhero mask, and a speech bubble saying "What?!? No phone!" The bottom right has a white box indicating "Fresman Year Book 1". The bottom left mentions "Interactive Novel 210 Pages 8.5 in. x 5.5 in."
