Escape to another universe during the summer holidays with our selection of the latest sci-fi and fantasy titles
Aliya and the Shop of Second Chances by Laila Rifaat (£7.99, Chicken House) Aliya is looking forward to the Infinite City’s time-travelling flying carpet race. But when her fellow locksmiths vanish on the course and the power source for time travel is left unguarded, she has to delve into her past to save her world from arch-villain Dorian Darke and his shop of darkness.
A Middle Eastern-inspired fantasy, set in a parallel Egypt, this tale is packed full of adventure.
Unfairies by Huw Aaron (£9.99 Penguin)
