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.

I really enjoyed this book and felt Serena Patel captures Anisha's Indian culture perfectly. I think it is an easy read and relatable. It is definitely a brilliant book for a lazy weekend. I definitely recommend.

Anisha was the main character in this book who I felt sorry for in many cases. All Anisha wanted was a calm, normal family life, but it always seemed to come with more drama than usual and lots of mystery twists and turns! Considering this is a fictional book, the stories felt in some form linked to real life scenarios that you could imagine happening.
There was a good balance of funny and serious and I absolutely loved Anisha's Granny Jas, she always knew who to support and side with and she did it with pizzazz!
I would absolutely recommend this book to children ages 7 +.
I sat and read this story with my three children every evening who range in ages between 7 and 12 and they couldn't wait to hear the next chapter.

My favourite character was Anisha because she was good at fighting out things as she was a detective.My favourite part in this book was when they thought it was the grandma because she was hiding something. It turned out to be lemon tree for a competition.

This book was fiction and my favourite character was Anisha because she is always busy and trying to solve a mystery. This was a very enjoyable, engaging and educational book.

I liked the book because it had a mid-wedding disaster. I gave it 3 stars because uncle Tony had been kidnapped. I thought it was funny because Aunty Bindy hit herself in the nose with a door. Also it had facts about lizards and a game which I thought was Really good. I like the book because it was interesting, funny and the people are really kind. And now I am a mid fan of this good book.
The End.
