Anisha, Accidental Detective: Christmas Chaos

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!
