Anisha, Accidental Detective

There's sabotage on the school trip, in the seventh hilarious case in the award-winning Anisha, Accidental Detective series, from World Book Day 2026 author and illustrator team, Serena Patel and Emma McCann!

It's finally time for our Year 6 residential trip, and we're off to the beach! I can't wait for three days having fun with my friends, learning about animal habitats and being free from grown-ups. We might even win a prize for our project!

Except, Granny Jas has turned up as a surprise chaperone, and she won't stop showing everyone my embarrassing baby photos. And now someone is messing with our habitat project - breaking things and dumping litter on the beach.

Someone needs to stop them, before they ruin all our hard work. Looks like a case for me, Anisha, accidental eco-detective!
