Today is my stop on the Mina Mistry blog tour!
Perfect for fans of Dork Diaries and Tom Gates, Mina Mistry is a fun mystery which children will love.
Mina's school is keen to promote healthy eating, but the school dinners contain more sugar than a chocolate factory. Luckily, future private investigator, Mina Mistry, is on the case - in between listening to her best friend Holly's dreams of superstardom and helping her Granny Meera with her unusual recipe combinations.
Mina Mistry investigates is full of laugh out loud moments. Mina is a great protagonist, and I loved her assistant, Mr Panda (who is very into his extreme sports). Mina is determined and independent, and young readers will warm to her immediately. I also loved her unusual friendship with Holly, who brought a lot of laughter in her scenes. The friendships and dynamics between the characters are really strong.
This book is full of food related fun, with marshmallow fritters for school dinner, and Granny Meera's strangely unpopular lentil custard. Readers won't stop laughing at the interesting food combinations.
Mina Mistry also has a great layout and style, with speech bubbles, case files and plenty of pictures. The font is large and easy to read, making it accessible and easy to enjoy.
I can see Mina Mistry being really popular in school libraries this year. I'm really looking forward to more books in this series.
