Meet the Maliks – Twin Detectives: Race to the Rescue
Meet Maysa and Musa Malik. They might be twins but they are total opposites. And together they make an unstoppable team, especially when trying to solve a mystery!
Maysa Malik has got herself into trouble yet again and this time she's forgotten to post her dad's passport application before his SUPER IMPORTANT work trip.
Then Imam Abdullah goes missing, and Maysa and her twin brother Musa have a new mystery to solve with the help of their neighbour, Norman, of course. But, as they search for clues around the neighbourhood, Maysa will have to find a way to save her dad's trip too!
Infectiously funny, and full of her trademark warmth, Meet the Maliks is the brilliant detective series from Zanib Mian, author of Planet Omar. Perfect for fans of Tom Gates.
Zanib Mian's books have featured on BBC's CBeebies Bedtime Stories and The Guardian for their contribution to diversity in children's literature. She was a World Book Day author in 2021, and her work has been translated into multiple languages. Zanib studied Molecular Cell Biology at University College London and went on to teach Science in secondary schools before she made the decision to give up the career to create change within children's publishing. She felt that diverse characters from all minorities and backgrounds weren't being fully represented in books for young children. She launched Sweet Apple Publishers with a clear commitment to publishing inclusive books, many of which she has authored herself.
