Accidental Trouble Magnet: Book 1 (Planet Omar)

Product Information

Wildly imaginative Omar’s free-association narrative, laced with expressive hand lettering and Mafaridik’s playfully exaggerated line art, remains chipper and uplifting. And when Omar and bully Daniel get stranded on a school trip in London, Omar realises that Danny isn't so tough after all. This worries Omar greatly, but he doesn’t tell his parents because he thinks that they have enough to deal with already. This book is an easy, enjoyable read which leaves a good feeling in your heart at the thought that there is goodness in people even if we can't see it immediately. Zanib Mian was a science teacher before launching a small independent publisher, Muslim Children's Books.
