Anisha, Accidental Detective: School's Cancelled
Serena Patel, Emma McCann
The second explosive mystery in the award-winning Anisha, Accidental Detective series, from World Book Day 2026 author and illustrator team, Serena Patel and Emma McCann!
""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.

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)

My favourite character was granny Jas because she is tiny but fierce and has really good cooking skills.

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.
