Meet the Maliks Twin Detectives: The Cookie Culprit | Zanib Mian

1 post | 1 read

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! Infectiously funny, and full of her trademark warmth, Meet the Maliks - Twin Detectives is the brand-new series from Zanib Mian. Perfect for fans of Planet Omar and Tom Gates. Maysa Malik just can't seem to be good like her twin, Musa. So, when she isn't allowed to go on a school trip, Maysa tries to change her parents' minds by taking part in a cookie competition at the mosque. But when the cookies are all destroyed, it's up to Maysa, Musa and their neighbour, Norman, to solve the mystery. They'll have to put their detective hats on to catch the culprit - and help save Maysa's reputation.

Meet the Maliks Twin Detectives: The Cookie Culprit | Zanib Mian

so-so

Zanib Mian‘s new mystery for readers aged 7+ (illustrated by Kyan Cheng) features fun protagonists and Maysa‘s insecurity that Musa has other friends than her is well done. I also enjoyed how their Muslim identity is central to the story, as it‘s a great way of learning about their faith but as the first in a series this needed more telling to establish backstory (especially Maysa‘s antagonism with Slime-ah) and the mystery itself is a limp.
