Running Press and author/game developer Jordan Weisman, of the popular series Cathy’s book, have come to an agreement for two new interactive young adult series. Where Cathy’s book already got readers off the page and to designated telephone recordings and websites, the two new series will be even more elaborate.

The first book in the Nanovor series, Hacked, which is set to be released December 2009, will tie-in its story of students finding a virulent life form in their computers, with a specially designed exclusive hand-held computer and game designed by Weisman’s company Smith & Tinker.

The second series Lost Souls will feature three books of which the first, Burning Sky, is set to be released in the Spring of 2010. The game is described as a multimedia adventure and will have readers visiting websites and playing along with an included physical board game.
