About this deal
Someone needs to stop them, before they ruin all our hard work. Looks like a case for me, Anisha, accidental eco-detective!
It's Halloween and everyone is excited about the school disco. It's a bit much for me - all that dressing-up and dancing. I'd rather cosy up with a good book, but Milo, Mindy and Manny are all super excited.
My daughter loved this book. It has great relatable characters, it's funny and it has an exciting storyline which involves investigating with friends. It's great to see a more diverse main character and also to learn about her family's culture and beliefs as part of the story. Anisha's family are getting ready to celebrate Diwali at the start of the story.
My daughter is still very much enjoying having her own detective agency with her friends where they pretend to solve mysteries (lost cats and missing items!) with a little notebook to write down clues (amongst other essential props!) DELIGHTFUL! Perfect for younger detectives - so funny and clever and sweet." Robin Stevens, author of the Murder Most Unladylike series

Milo and I have been looking forward to this half-term for what feels like FOREVER - we're finally going to the National Space Centre, to meet a real-life space engineer! Shortlisted for the Blue Peter Book Award, the British Book Awards Children's Book of the Year, and the Laugh Out Loud Book Award In this story Anisha and her class have to put on a school play about Albert Einstein with only one weeks notice. Things start to go wrong though. First of all the roof collapses and then there's a star shaped hole in the stage curtain. Except, Granny Jas has turned up as a surprise chaperone, and she won't stop showing everyone my embarrassing baby photos. And now someone is messing with our habitat project - breaking things and dumping litter on the beach.
