The Selwyn Formula

By Jim Minns

A Young Adult Sci-Fi Thriller

Harriet Graham and Dylan Collins never meant to invent something impossible. Their school science project-a theoretical "invisible destructor"-should have been just that: theoretical. But when their experiment erupts into a classroom-shattering explosion, they discover a terrifying truth: they can create things that exist beyond human sight.

At first, their discovery is just a mystery-until their eccentric chemistry teacher, Mr. Selwyn, takes an unnatural interest in their work. He wants them to build more. An invisible motorbike. A pair of glasses that reveal the unseen. And worst of all, a device that can reduce entire structures to rubble without a trace.

But when ATMs across the city start exploding and Harriet's mother is implicated in the crimes, the truth becomes clear: Selwyn isn't just playing with science-he's using their formula for something far more sinister.

With their lives-and their families-at risk, Harriet, Dylan, and their unlikely ally Mark Roland must outthink the man who can disappear into thin air. But how do you stop someone when you can't even see them coming?

The Selwyn Formula is a gripping YA thriller that blends science fiction, mystery, and high-stakes adventure. Perfect for fans of Stranger Things and One of Us is Lying.
