HELP! My super-dramatic Aunty Bindi is getting married tomorrow and she's having a mega meltdown.
But sssh! 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!
I have to keep this a secret otherwise it'll be panic-central...
I guess it's up to me - Anisha, ACCIDENTAL DETECTIVE, to save the day.
Young crime lovers will snap up Serena Patel's lively, funny Anisha, Accidental Detective.

The story surfs along on a wave of excitable prose, while offering insights into Hindu culture that, for the uninitiated, are intriguing.
The chaotic warmth of an eccentric extended family underpins this exhilarating romp which touches upon children's insecurity about change. Anisha and Milo are an engaging team who we are sure to meet again.
Young crime lovers will snap up Serena Patel's lively, funny Anisha, Accidental Detective.
Patel's astute characterisation and irresistible humour are heightened by Emma McCann's illustrations.
A fabulously funny mystery.
