Children’s author Zanib Mian just released the second book in her popular series “Meet the Maliks - Twin Detectives”. The series follows Maysa and Musa Malik, two twins who are total opposites. The twins often have to team up to solve a mystery, putting aside their differences to work together. The book’s illustrations were done by Kyan Cheng.
“Meet the Maliks – Twin Detectives: Race to the Rescue” is the latest book in the series, following “The Cookie Culprit”. The first book in the series follows Maysa, who struggles to match up to the seemingly perfect Musa. This leads Maysa to attempt to win her parents' approval by entering her mosque's cookie eating competition. When the cookies are sabotaged, it's up to Maysa, Musa and their friend Norman to uncover the culprit and restore Maysa's reputation.
Read on to see the description of “Meet the Maliks – Twin Detectives: Race to the Rescue” from publisher HarperCollins:
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 neighbor, Norman, of course. But, as they search for clues around the neighborhood, 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.
