Book Synopsis

Join Anisha, Accidental Detective, to solve an extra-special festive mystery filled with snowmen and secrets, crackers and clues! From the award-winning World Book Day 2026 author and illustrator team, Serena Patel and Emma McCann.

IT’S CHRISTMAAAAAAS!

My family LOVE Christmas and this year their excitement levels are off the charts because, drum roll with extra jingle bells…Dad has been put in charge of the festive fayre! Everyone’s ready to help – my friend Milo and I have loads of SPARKLY ideas, Aunty Bindi’s got a mountain of TINSEL, and we’ve even got a BIG RED SLEIGH for Santa’s grotto!

Well, we did have a big red sleigh, until someone STOLE IT in the middle of the night. So now I’m on the case to track down the THIEF before they ruin Christmas. I just wish I didn’t have to dress as an ELF to do it!

Looks like a case for me, Anisha, accidental Christmas detective!

Our Review Panel says...

A festive mystery-a festive delight with all the trimmings! Another fantastic book in this wonderful series where friendship, community and family all work together to create the best Christmas fayre that their town has ever seen.

If you thought your family loved Christmas, wait until you read about the Mistry’s celebrations: 50 boxes of decorations; 3 Christmas trees; elf hats; and compulsory Christmas jumpers. However, all of the Christmas spirit could be lost when the sleigh they find then disappears one night, along with Anisha and her dad’s dreams of a grotto, featuring the very special post-box they have borrowed. There are many suspects on their list (Mr Bogof, Smita Smart-Jones, someone with small hands??). Can Milo (her best buddy, aka detective buddy) and she find the sleigh and save Christmas? Can they bring back the festive cheer for everyone, especially her dad?

The mix of text and illustrations makes this a perfect choice for readers 7+. Grab yourself a hot chocolate (with all the trimmings), a mince pie and get cosy to read on and see how the mystery unfolds…
