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 insistence 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… 

It turns out Madlock is the most wanted criminal in the galaxy. Worse still, the only way for Arian to get rid of her is to help prove her innocence. 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.

Reviews for A Sequence of Cosmic Accidents

""What a wild, imaginative story! Get your daddles on a copy right away – this book is hornswogglingly hilarious, and bang up the elephant brilliant!"" Sinéad O’Hart, author of The Eye of the North ""I loved it! With fizzing dialogue and sparky chemistry, you’ll be racing through dimensions and pages..."" Nazima Pathan, author of Dream Hunters ""Riotously funny and mind-bendingly imaginative, A Sequence of Cosmic Accidents blasts you off on an unforgettable intergalactic adventure! A fresh and exciting debut!"" Jennifer Bell, author of The Uncommoners series  'A thrilling fusion of sci-fi and Persian mythology, this adventure is packed with magic, danger, and unlikely alliances. Arian and Madlock’s journey takes them from Earth to distant worlds, forcing them to outwit enemies, unravel mysteries, and confront destinies they never chose. A story that lingers long after the final page!' Rachel Hamilton, author of The Case of the Exploding Loo 'Madlock is a terrific character, annoying, but vulnerable... other characters and places are brought to life very effectively.  S.A. Reyhani is half Iranian and half Scottish herself and uses her memories of Iranian stories her mother told her, and of a childhood friend for Arian’s upper limb difference. This her debut novel is a tremendously exciting story, and it is planned as the first of a trilogy: this reviewer will be eagerly looking out for the next instalment.' Diana Barnes, Books for Keeps
