The Don't Doubt the Rainbow Series

Don’t Doubt the Rainbow is a new contemporary detective series with a difference! Each book in the four-book series is an adventure story in its own right – set in a diverse range of settings from the south-east of England to Canada and Poland. 

Throughout each book, the reader is encouraged to explore how things are not always how they seem – how our ‘thinking’ often represents our imagined reality rather than what is necessarily true – and examines the nature of the link between thoughts and feelings 

As a result, this groundbreaking series will provide middle grade and early teen readers with psychological tools they can use to successfully navigate the challenges of their own lives and develop their “innate health”.

🕵️ In The Five Clues, 13-year-old detective, Edie Marble, needs to solve puzzles laid down by her murdered mother to bring criminals and a hitman to justice. 

🕵️ Three months later, in Outside Chance, Edie takes on ecoterrorists planning a devastating attack, while working out the vital links between four connected cases.

🕵️ In American Mystery, Edie travels through Canada, the USA and Dartmoor to solve a long-buried family secret and put evil wrongdoers behind bars.

🕵️ Professor Anthony Kessel is a senior NHS public health physician, whose position has made him acutely aware of the mental health crisis affecting children and young adults. 

This series has been written for middle-grade and early teen readers, born from Anthony’s desire to address this crisis in a new and creative way. It harnesses his professional expertise and understanding to educate young readers about their innate mental wellbeing. In each book, we see 13-year-old protagonist Edie Marble using new approaches to understanding how the mind works which is currently proving invaluable in improving mental health in children internationally.
