Episode
Alisha Dainton has severe epilepsy, so she's used to having seizures. Sometimes she even has weird visions and hears strange noises. After a particularly bad episode on holiday in Cyprus, what she sees and hears makes her think she's going mad: who is the beautiful girl with the see-through eyes, multi-coloured hair and rainbow and the half-woman, half-bird creature singing by the hotel pool, and just why has she been chosen to go back in time to ancient Sparta to help save a princess called Helen? Either Ali is having some sort of bizarre dream, or she's about to have an amazing adventure that might change the entire story of the Trojan War.
The Story Behind This Book
I have epilepsy and an interest in ancient Greek literature, so I decided to combine the two to create a children's time travel adventure where Ali's powerful seizures take her back through time to the days before the Trojan war. I have used this theme before in Epiworld. Episode is not a sequel, but I have reintroduced the character of Travis as Ali's guide and mentor and mercilessly used the gods as a way of influencing the story, as the ancient Greeks did.
