Overview
Meet Anisha Mistry, the reluctant schoolgirl sleuth who can't help stumbling into mysteries wherever she goes. This complete eight-book paperback collection follows Anisha and her best friend Milo through kidnapped uncles, stolen diamonds, haunted school discos and sabotaged beach trips. Funny, warm and packed with clever twists, Serena Patel's bestselling series celebrates a big, chaotic British-Indian family while delivering laugh-out-loud whodunnits that keep young readers guessing right up to the final page.
About the Books
The Anisha, Accidental Detective series opens with Aunty Bindi's wedding day thrown into chaos when a ransom note reveals the groom has vanished, forcing Anisha into her first case. In School's Cancelled!, a science fair volcano project spirals into trouble, while Granny Trouble sees Anisha's own grandmother accused of stealing a priceless diamond during a half-term outing. Show Stoppers! throws the class musical into disarray just before Diwali, with Anisha convinced someone is deliberately trying to stop the show. Holiday Adventure! takes the family away for a break that's anything but relaxing, and Fright Night! brings spooky mischief and a possibly haunted school in the run-up to the Halloween disco. In Beach Disaster, a Year 6 residential trip is sabotaged just as Anisha's habitat project is ruined by a mystery culprit, and the collection closes with Christmas Chaos, as a festive fayre threatens to unravel amid tinsel, secrets and sleigh-based mishaps. Each story blends genuine mystery plotting with gentle humour, sibling squabbles and a big, loving extended family, making the books ideal read-alone adventures or shared bedtime stories for confident young readers moving into chapter books.
