"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.
Serena Patel (Author)
Serena Patel is the author of the Anisha, Accidental Detective series which won the Sainsbury's Children's Book Award for Fiction. She lives in the West Midlands with her family and believes all children deserve to feel seen in the stories they read and that books are an important tool for empathy. When she's not writing Serena enjoys watching movies, reading and eating cake. Chocolate cake preferred.
Emma McCann (Illustrator)
Emma McCann is a freelance illustrator, sporadic painter/print maker, occasional cake baker, and regular mess maker. She lives in Cornwall and works from an attic studio where her ideas are scribbled, Wacom'd, and Photoshopped into existence. In her spare time, Emma undertakes scientific research into Cornwall's best cream tea and takes it very, very seriously.
