The second in the four-book Don’t Doubt the Rainbow series, Outside Chance is a fast-paced YA thriller in which teen detective Edie Marble is tasked with solving four very different but equally puzzling mysteries.
It’s been three months since 13-year-old Edie solved the case of her mother’s death and became a supersleuth. Now, her reputation is spreading far and wide – everyone wants her help to solve mysteries …
Why does Edie’s neighbour’s long-lost friend suddenly keep turning up wherever she goes? How can students fail an exam when they know their answers were correct? What led to the vicious attack on an elderly woman on Hampstead Heath? And – most alarming of all – should Edie’s schoolfriend be worried about his stepfather’s new activist friends?
To solve each mystery, Edie must harness the Three Principles, a new approach to understanding how the mind works that is currently proving invaluable in improving mental health and well-being in children internationally.
As tensions across the city reach fever pitch, can Edie follow the clues and coach her own mind to avert a potential catastrophe?
More about the Don’t Doubt the Rainbow series:
The protagonist throughout is 13-year-old supersleuth Edie Marble, but this is not a run-of the-mill detective series. Each book is an adventure story in its own right and, over the course of the four-book series, the reader will become familiar with the Three Principles – a new approach to understanding how the mind works that is currently proving invaluable in improving mental health and well-being in children internationally. As a result, this ground-breaking series will provide readers aged 11+ with psychological tools they can use to successfully navigate the challenges of their own lives.
The series’ unique selling points:
• An exciting addition to the ever-popular offering of mystery/detective stories for middle-grade and early teen readers.
• A family-oriented series with huge emotional pull, which authentically depicts Jewish customs and beliefs, under-represented in children’s fiction.
• The first fiction series to embrace the Three Principles (mind, thought and consciousness), which is fast becoming recognised as a highly credible and successful new approach to improving mental health and well-being.
• Written by a clinical director at NHS England and a recognised international authority on global and public health.
