Book details
Anisha Accidental Detective Fright Night
Description
There's a spooky mystery at school, in the sixth hilarious case in the award-winning Anisha, Accidental Detective series!It's Halloween and everyone is excited about the school disco. It's a bit much for me - all that dressing-up and dancing. I'd rather cosy up with a good book, but Milo, Mindy and Manny are all super excited. Or at least, they were excited, until all these strange things started happening - messages appearing on the whiteboard, lights flickering on and off, books flying off the library shelves... Some of the other kids have been whispering that the school is haunted, but Mr Graft says that if the spooky mischief doesn't stop, then the disco will be cancelled. Looks like a mission for me, Anisha, accidental ghost detective!Praise for the Anisha, Accidental Detective series:Winner of the Sainsbury's Children's Book Prize and of the Crimefest Best Crime Novel for ChildrenShortlisted for the Blue Peter Book Award, the British Book Awards Children's Book of the Year, and the Laugh Out Loud Book Award"DELIGHTFUL!
