Grow Up (One Up Series Book 2) Kindle Edition
Up until this morning, the biggest thing Josh had to worry about was completing Shadow Souls on sadistic difficulty. Oh, and his upcoming exams.
That was before he caught the attention of a planet of intergalactic trial-by-combat lawyers that use giant mechs to fight their legal battles. Now he has bigger things to worry about. Much, much bigger. The only advantage he has is his trusty games controller, but will it be enough to beat a Level 10 Behemoth?
Josh isn’t the only one having a rough day. Gargle was your run-of-the-mill, body swapping, ethereal alien courier. Everything was going great, until he was dropped off on Earth and asked to blend in with a crowd of teenagers. Josh only has to save the world, Gargle has to survive puberty.

About the author

Craig Anderson can't stand writing about himself in the third person. I’ve been calling myself a writer for years, but most of my time spent writing is on a really long novel that no-one except me has read. I’m still not happy with it, and wonder if I ever will be.
I primarily write novellas because my house is too chaotic to get enough time to write 70k words! I love the shorter form books and the ability to capture a persons imagination and tell an interesting story that can be read in an afternoon.
I’m a Brit that lives in Canada, and I moved here via Australia, so no matter where I go people hear my bizarre accent and ask me where I am from. I have a beautiful wife, two kids under 3, two cats called Sydney & Mel, and a Brittany Spaniel called Jasper. Our house constantly looks like a tornado just passed through!

- Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2025Format: KindleVerified PurchaseBook 2 was even better than book 1. The pace is smooth and there are no technological glitches to contend with. I had a few questions of “if they have that tech for this application, why don’t they use it there?” But it’s minor. I hope there’s a third book in the works.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2019Format: KindleVerified PurchaseAt first I was considering dropping this one, but at some point time started slipping by and I kept reading, reaching the end of the book and wanting more. Entertaining and plenty of humor, with interesting characters.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2020Format: KindleVerified PurchaseIn my opinion, a mark of a well planned story line is the magnitude of feels each transition leaves. Opposed to some books where the transition is simply a device to further inform the reader of story progression, I was deeply excited (not anxious) each time this story transitioned between characters. Well done, and thanks for another super fun read!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2022Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThe story has changed enough to keep it interesting. The focus and backsotry changed enough to keep it unique in its own read. I can't wait to finish the third book.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2020Format: KindleVerified PurchaseIn a Freaky Friday worthy body swap, this book explores two strange alien planets, their bizarre, inconsistent customs, and has a newb save the day in surprisingly fun ways in each.
The first book in the series was litRPG themed, this one focuses more on mech wars. Not my personal fandom, so I'll admit to skimming some of those geeked out details, while admiring the passion behind them at the same time.
An example of the writing, which features Vogon worthy lawyers:
“You think that a race of sentient beings, with the capability and technology to travel between galaxies, is going to do so with the sole intention of gathering all their data rectally? I’m not sure you have thought this all the way through. If we want to scan you, we’ll just do this.”
- Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2023Format: KindleVerified PurchaseFinished the first book in a couple days, 2nd book took me one day of procrastination of my everyday chores. Really enjoyed it and can't wait to read part 3.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2020Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI read the first book and loved the wit of it and flow so I had to read the second. BAM! I was hit with something out of this world of expectations. I mean this both in the storyline and enjoyment. This one is same same but different. I have recommended both the books to many. Great fun easy reads to zip through when locked down..... or not while not.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2020Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThis book is a little different. Good paced and some nice twists. I was looking for a book that kept my interest and let me relax while I read it. To the author, Thank You.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not all bad
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseIt was ok
- MaffaReviewed in the United Kingdom on December 7, 2023
5.0 out of 5 stars A Quality Read
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseHonestly, I don't really do book reviews, but I felt compelled it give this 5 thumbs up. A really well written flowing book centered around two conjoined storylines interwoven with hints of scifi, gaming, humour and edge of the seat stuff. I will be back for more.😀
- Kindle CustomerReviewed in Australia on October 4, 2020
5.0 out of 5 stars More crazy and hilarious underdog fighting the OP overlords.
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseAnother fast paced adventure featuring a collection of underdogs forced to fight against laughably OP enemies for their very survival. Hilarious cultural misunderstandings ensue as a plot vaguely reminiscent of The Last Starfighter plays out in a more modern context with added Ghost in the Shell energy based alien lifeforms.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this author's humour and story telling
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseLove this author's humour and story telling. This is the second of their novels ive read and look forward to more. I loved gargles shenanigans especially.

5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't put it down!
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseExcellent read ! Highly recommended! If a fan of the 'litrpg genre you will thoroughly enjoy this.
Exciting story, I finished in about a week. After coming off the back of a book I found boring and slow I was sad to see this one finished.
