Honestly, I just want to read my book, but there's NEVER any time to relax for Anisha, Accidental Detective. There's sabotage on the school trip, in the seventh hilarious case in the award-winning Anisha, Accidental Detective series! To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. A laugh out loud tale of mishap, misbehaving grannies, grumpy neighbours and large, loving families. year-old Anisha’s ultra dramatic Aunty Bindi is getting married tomorrow so tensions are already running high before the ‘wedding of the year’ - and things only get worse when Anisha gets a note saying Bindi’s groom Uncle Tony has been kidnapped, and won’t be released until the wedding is cancelled!

She lives in the West Midlands with her family and believes all children deserve to feel seen in the stories they read and that books are an important tool for empathy. Serena Patel is the author of the Anisha, Accidental Detective series which won the Sainsbury's Children's Book Award for Fiction. She needs to use her scientific skills of logic and deduction to track down Uncle Tony in time for his wedding. Emma McCann (Illustrator) Emma McCann is a freelance illustrator, sporadic painter/print maker, occasional cake baker, and regular mess maker.Full of gentle humour while addressing some of the big issues that affect many of our children, here is another story which is an absolute delight – packed with fun, written and illustrated with charm and one that covers the excitement and concerns of both a residential visit and the prospect of a new baby in the family. My whole family wanted to tag along and visit a festival first, where this super-famous, mega-expensive diamond is on display. I studied illustration at Kingston University, London, and my second children’s picture book was longlisted for the Kate Greenaway Medal in 2005. And, as it's nearly DIWALI, Granny Jas is cooking non-stop, and Auntie Bindi is determined to BRING THE BLING.

We work closely with publishers and authors to ensure that we offer the best books on the market for your child. And now someone is messing with our habitat project - breaking things and dumping litter on the beach. I've just found a ransom note, pushed through the letter box, saying Uncle Tony, Bindi's husband-to-be, has been kidnapped, and will only be freed if the wedding is cancelled! One minute we were in the lab practising our science demo, and the next thing we knew, our volcano exploded and flooded the corridors.I've since illustrated many titles for a wide variety of publishers and clients including Ladybird, Oxford University Press, Girlguiding, Bear Grylls Ventures, and Usborne. The holiday park's mascot, Delilah the duck, has been DESTROYED, and my new friend Cleo is everyone's number one suspect. 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! The humour is deft, the dialogue great and Anisha’s multi-generational British Indian family is an inclusive and wonderful world to escape into. You can feel the effort that has gone into making the story engaging and the 'twists and turns' of the story leave you wondering what will happen next.
