When Omar’s best friend Daniel messes up at school, Omar decides to take the blame to save him from getting in trouble – which makes him feel like a hero!

With this taste of heroism, Omar takes the blame for a couple of small things other kids in the class have done – without realising that when something more serious happens, the signs will point to him since he’s been so unusually troublesome.

The teachers are SURE the culprit must be Omar. Can his friends prove his innocence and show that he wasn’t responsible for the chaos?

Have you read the first book in the series, Accidental Trouble Magnet? Love Reading 4 Kids called it ‘irresistible reading!’

JUST ONE WEEK UNTIL SHOWTIME!

I’m SO busy – our class is putting on a musical, and we only have ONE WEEK before curtain up. And, as it’s nearly DIWALI, Granny Jas is cooking non-stop, and Auntie Bindi is determined to BRING THE BLING.

I’m leaving the theatrics to Milo, but as the director’s assistant I have LOADS to do…especially now everything is going WRONG. Even Molly the cat is forgetting her cues! Miss Jive believes the show is CURSED, but I think someone is trying to STOP THE SHOW!

Time for me, ANISHA, ACCIDENTAL DETECTIVE, to step into the spotlight!

The Mistrys are off on holiday, in the fifth hilarious mystery in the award-winning Anisha, Accidental Detective series!

Pack your bags – we’re off to a holiday camp!

Milo can’t wait to see the wildlife, Manny’s learning survival skills, and even Granny’s going to have a go at archery. Honestly, I just want to read my book, but there’s NEVER any time to relax for Anisha, Accidental Detective.

The holiday park’s mascot, Delilah the duck, has been DESTROYED, and my new friend Cleo is everyone’s number one suspect.

But I’m sure she’s innocent, and I’m going to do whatever it takes to prove it. Let’s hope we can find the real culprit, and QUACK the case!!

Princess Minna lives in Castle Tall-Towers with the King and Queen, Raymond the Wizard and her best dragon friend, Lorenzo. There are often mix-ups and mishaps in the kingdom and Princess Minna loves to sort them out!

She can tame unicorns, kiss frogs and fight dragons (apart from Lorenzo) and she is very good at fixing things before it’s time for bed.

A giant beanstalk has grown up in the kingdom and the giant who lives at the top of it keeps stealing things from the townsfolk! Is Minna brave enough to climb the beanstalk and bring back the stolen things, and will the giant EAT HER if she does?

Full of colourful illustrations, these short, funny stories are perfect for readers just moving on from picture books and visual readers.
