The universe makes no mistakes…
Twelve-year-old Arian never wanted a foster sister, much less the weird and annoying one who has joined his family. From her outlandish outfits and bizarre behaviour to her claim that the random stick she carries is a magical weapon, Madlock is creeping Arian out. There’s just one thing the pair can agree on: that she’s from another planet. Of course, Arian never meant literally…
When Madlock summons a portal to another world, Arian is launched into an adventure of intergalactic proportions. For an ancient enemy is stirring in the shadows, and the universe has a bigger plan for them than the pair could ever have imagined
S.A. Reyhani is half Iranian and half Scottish. She moved to the UK at the age of nine, discovering fish ‘n’ chips and skies that go dark at 4pm. She was working in media related stuff before finally settling into the strawberries and cream of careers – children’s writing and parenthood. She lives with her lovely husband, three children and two annoying cats.
