Book 7: strange places OUT NOW AS AN E-BOOK! AND PAPERBACK £6.49 (AMAZON.CO.UK)
Kitty, Sam, Toby, Lizzie, Luke, Jemima, and Jessica take up Merlin’s offer of places at his multiversal multiversity. All’s well until Merlina, a scheming head of a neighbouring Research Centre, pays a visit and sets up an inter-multiversity contest, pitting the Terran Team, as Merlin calls them, against her own elite team. The young humans endure a series of life-threatening challenges: escaping ridiculously difficult situations, a frantic space race-and-rescue mission, and an Immersive Book Experience in which the two teams and their friends play the characters, with the loser losing everything. Will they win through and foil Merlina’s plan to discredit Merlin?

In the next instant, Pandy was standing with Kitty and the others on a rocky hill, his mane swaying in the breeze, his eyes narrow, gazing across grassland to distant low hills beneath a yellow sky. He took a huge breath to swell his chest and held his head high. “Paradoxica.”

Why has a strong force-field appeared around the Human Realm on Avalonia? With the help of their young elf friends, the Terran Team investigate, uncovering further mysteries and finding themselves being tested with hair-raising and tricky challenges in virtual worlds. But why? Is Morwen Fay behind it? It seems unlikely as she’s imprisoned in a space–time shield. And who are the Metal People? Where do they come from and what’s their connection with Morwen? Things go from bad to worse as four of them are transported to a weird but wonderful alien world. Will they ever get back?
