When not plotting daring escapes from endless cities or negotiating with talking sharks, Selmon can usually be found writing stories about adventure, family, and the infinite possibilities of the unknown. Inspired by a love of real science, wild imagination, and the brightest parts of childhood wonder, [Your Name] created Ella and the Maze as a gift for his daughter — and for anyone who still believes that courage, laughter, and curiosity can save the world.
He firmly believes books should have heart, a lot of humor, a few ridiculous surprises, and at least one loyal robotic dog.

Hop on for a fascinating space odyssey with Selmon Beha's Ella and the Maze. It's the year 3001. Ella is a twelve-year-old girl living with her family among the countless inhabitants of Hope City 1. Earth is crumbling to the point of no return. To ensure their survival, Ella's parents take her, her brother, Ari, and her robot pet dog, Fen, on a trip to the alien world of Planet 6 in their house-sized spacecraft, Imahara. However, their arrival on Planet 6 doesn't go according to plan. After discovering the missing colonist ship, Vera One, Ella's parents encounter someone from their past while Imahara gets stuck in the middle of nowhere. Meanwhile, Ella finds herself stranded on a seemingly magical island on Planet 6. With someone trying to eliminate humanity, can Ella and her parents ensure its survival?
Packed with action, mystery, and intrigue, Ella and the Maze is a captivating space adventure novel for young adult readers. If you love sci-fi tales with sentient machines, rogue AI, and extraordinary alien worlds, do not miss out on this. Author Selmon Beha has built a believable dystopian world with the depiction of Hope City 1. The setting is immersive, and it keeps you hooked to the narrative. Beha weaves an unpredictable plot with lots of twists and turns, keeping you on your toes with the fast pacing and unexpected reveals you never see coming. The characters have lively personalities; a couple of them are so zany and eccentric that you can't help but be charmed. Apart from Ella, I loved the scenes featuring Maze, Ari, and the twins. On the whole, it's a fantastic sci-fi novel for children and young adults.
