 <\/p>\n

Everyday life can turn extraordinary in an instant.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For Ewen “Useless” Euston, a swirling mandala on the oval, a mysterious carnival, or even a second-hand computer game can open gateways to worlds where children vanish, villages crumble, and alien threats rise.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Alongside loyal friends and faithful dogs, Useless must outwit kidnappers, overlords, clones, and even giant ants if he wants to bring everyone home.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Packed with humour, heart, and nail-biting twists, A Useless Series delivers fast-paced sci-fi adventures where ordinary kids take on impossible odds–and sometimes, saving the world is the only way to prove you’re not useless after all.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It started with a computer game pulled from the tip.<\/p>\n

When Useless (Ewen Euston), his neighbour Perry, and their friend Will load it up, they don’t expect it to work–let alone whisk them and Perry’s new pup into another world. A world they know, but in the wrong time.<\/p>\n

Here, no daughters have been born for years, and the boys are quickly arrested, forced into mines, and caught between terrified villagers and an Overlord who refuses to help. Worse still, giant ants are rising to wipe out all life.<\/p>\n

From flying saucers to satellite stations, Useless and his friends race to negotiate peace between villagers and newcomers before the ants destroy everything. But when the boys themselves are captured and dragged into the ant nest, it may be too late.<\/p>\n

Fast-paced, imaginative, and full of humour, Useless and the Seventh Choice<\/em> is perfect for readers aged 10\u201312 who love daring rescues, strange worlds, and underdog heroes who never quit.<\/p>\n
