Description
About The Book
A laugh-out-loud, endearing Ramadan story, with exciting illustrations throughout. Written and illustrated by Zanib Mian.
Maysa Malik just can’t seem to behave sensibly, like her twin brother Musa, which is why her parents have put their foot down and said she is not allowed to go on the residential trip with school.
That’s basically spoilt the rest of Maysa’s life, so as she attempts to change her parents’ minds, a terrible lie spins out of control and Maysa and Musa, and the ever-present neighbour, Norman, find themselves in a puzzling whodunnit mystery at their masjid.
Can they work out who the culprit is? And will Maysa be able to save her reputation?

About the author
Zanib Mian: Zanib Mian studied Molecular Cell Biology at University College London before working as a secondary school science teacher.

Her books have been featured on BBC's CBeebies Bedtime Stories and praised by The Guardian for their contribution to diversity in children's literature. She was commissioned to write an opera for The Mahogany Opera Group, regularly features at the Bradford Literature Festival, and serves on the panel of judges for the Young Muslim Writers Awards. Her Planet Omar series, first published under the title The Muslims, is her first work for older readers and is published by Hachette Children's Group; it won the Little Rebels Award 2018 and was shortlisted for the UKLA Award and nominated for the CILIP Carnegie Medal.
