The school show must go on, in the fourth hilarious mystery in the award-winning Anisha, Accidental Detective series!

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!
