About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels like the quiet observer in a loud, energetic family or when they need a boost of confidence in their own unique way of thinking. It is an ideal choice for kids who love logic and structure but find themselves in the middle of relatable family chaos. Anisha is a relatable protagonist who uses her scientific mind and list-making skills to solve the mystery of her kidnapped uncle right before his big wedding. The story beautifully balances a fast-paced mystery with themes of cultural pride, multi-generational family dynamics, and the value of staying calm under pressure. It offers a wonderful window into British-Indian culture and the excitement of a traditional wedding, all while celebrating a young girl's intelligence and autonomy. Perfect for independent readers aged 7 to 10, it reinforces that being the 'sensible' one is actually a superpower.
