Iqbal Hussain

I’m going back in time to save this family. 
 
Eleven-year-old Zubair is a seventh son. This means a LOT of older brothers. But when Zubair’s granny arrives from Pakistan and gives him a mysterious amulet, he discovers it means something else, too: he has inherited a gift. The seventh sons in his family have the ability to time-travel. 
 
With his dad a shadow of his former self since his car accident, and his mum constantly tired and angry, Zubair has a genius idea. He’ll use time-travel to fix things between them. 
 
But each trip comes at a cost. If he changes something small in the past, it can have a huge effect on his future. And if he gets it wrong, the results could be devastating… 
 
A warm, funny, heartbreaking and uplifting tale about family, bravery and living in the here and now, from an exciting new talent in children's books.
