Review:
These books are always a hit and this one is no exception. Perfect for the spooky season - and with a valuable lesson.
Anisha, Milo Manny and Mindy are on a quest to find out who is responsible for the haunting of their school. Following the clues they not only solve the mystery but help solve the problem and put things right.
If you have a young detective then this book is definitely a must read - a perfect investment for the upcoming half term.
Add in a crisis at home and this really is a story that will keep readers entertained.
Anisha’s family are a very likeable bunch and the story reads well aided by the wonderful Illustrations. A great read for children and I would recommend age 7+.
A perfect series for any classroom to build representation through high quality stories.
Summary
There's a spooky mystery at school, in the sixth hilarious case in the award-winning Anisha, Accidental Detective series!
It's Halloween and everyone is excited about the school disco. It's a bit much for me - all that dressing-up and dancing. I'd rather cosy up with a good book, but Milo, Mindy and Manny are all super excited.
Or at least, they were excited, until all these strange things started happening - messages appearing on the whiteboard, lights flickering on and off, books flying off the library shelves... Some of the other kids have been whispering that the school is haunted, but Mr Graft says that if the spooky mischief doesn't stop, then the disco will be cancelled.
Looks like a mission for me, Anisha, accidental ghost detective!
