A captivating story unfolds, weaving humor, heartache, and inspiration, as it explores themes of family, courage, and seizing the present. Tailored for enthusiasts of "Time Travelling With a Hamster" and "Wonder," it tells the tale of young Zubair, an eleven-year-old and the seventh son in his family, surrounded by many older brothers. When Zubair’s grandmother arrives from Pakistan bearing a mysterious amulet, he discovers a surprising truth: seventh sons in his lineage possess the unique ability to travel through time.Zubair is determined to mend his fractured family, especially since his father, changed by a car accident, seems a mere shadow of his prior self, and his mother is perpetually weary and irritable. His ingenious plan is to employ time-travel to reconcile their issues. However, he soon learns each journey through time comes with a significant price. Altering even the smallest detail in the past might lead to considerable consequences in the future, and a single misstep could lead to catastrophic outcomes.The story has been praised as 'spectacular' by Sophie Anderson, 'funny, exciting, and tense' by Phil Earle, and a 'soaring triumph' by Rashmi Sirdeshpande. Clare Harlow finds it 'refreshingly inventive and gorgeously written,' while Philippa Leathley describes it as 'astonishing...a beautiful book.'
