""Perfect for younger detectives. So funny and clever and sweet."" Robin Stevens

Winner of the Sainsbury’s Children’s Book Prize and the Crimefest Best Crime Novel for Children, from World Book Day 2026 author and illustrator team, Serena Patel and Emma McCann

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.

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.
