""An absolute joy from start to finish!"" Jennifer Killick on Anisha, Accidental Detective

""I’ve been working sooo hard with Milo and Govi to make our super-erupting volcano for the school science fair. I really thought we might win first prize – a trip to the National Space Centre. But now we’re in BIG trouble.

One minute we were in the lab practising our science demo, and the next thing we knew, our volcano exploded and flooded the corridors. School had to be cancelled!

But did we really get our project so wrong – or is someone else trying to win first prize? Looks like a case for Anisha, Accidental Detective!""

This book is about Anisha, accidental detective, and how she was doing a foamy volcano experiment and how someone sabotaged it so the whole school was full of foam.

It definatly had a lot of thrill and Sherlock vibes it is great for young detectives who love a bit of a mystery.

This is even better than the first one. I liked that it was about a science fair! (and it was even more mysterious than the last one)

I think that this book was really fun to read because Anisha was really confident in going to the space center. Anisha was really kind to Mindy and Govi even though they sabotaged Anisha and Milo‘s work. I really like that at the end said that Mindy Manny, Mandy and Manny‘s mom and dad were family.

I would recommend it to a 9 or 10 year old because some of the words are a bit hard.

Fiction book
Main character is a Year 6 girl, Anisha, and her friends (Milo and Govi) as they prepare for a science fair.
I liked the realness of Govi's character and how his vulnerabilty was shared. Anisha is a perceptive and intelligent young girl who Pays attention to details and uses this to solve the mystery of the flood-plosion.

It is rich in the Indian culture - food- and even has a recipe at the end.

Anisha, Milo and Govi worked so hard on the science project but suddenly, their volcano was ruined and the school was flooded with foam. Mr Graft was not happy. Anisha found out that Govi sabotaged their volcano. Anisha told Milo that Govi ran into the kitchen and put a bread in the toaster so high so it would burn and set the sprinklers off. Then he ran back to the lab and waited for them to come back. He put the bicarb into the volcano and he ran back to the kitchen and arrived when Anisha and Milo are in the lab. Govi is really sorry about listening to Mindy and Manny her evil twins even though Anisha is smart.
