The Blurb On The Back:
My name is Omar.
I have a huge imagination.
I hate marshmallows.
And this is the first book all abut me!
You might not know me yet, but once you open the pages of this book you’ll laugh so hard that snot will come out of your nose (plus you might meet a dragon and a zombie – what more could you want?).
My parents decided it would be a good idea to move house and move me to a new school at the same time. As if I didn’t have a hard enough time staying out of trouble at home, now I’ve also got to try and make new friends. What’s worse, the class bully seems to think I’m the perfect target.
At least Eid’s around the corner which means a feast (yay) and presents (double yay). Well, as long as I can stay in mum and dad’s good books long enough …
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Zanib Mian’s illustrated humorous book for children aged 9+ (the first in a series) has a fun main character, good family dynamics and I loved the fact that Islam is incorporated into the story in a way that’s informative without being the point of the book and while Nasaya Mafaridik’s illustrations weren’t complete in the ARC I received, I liked what I saw and the use of different text design really helps bring the story to life.
PLANET OMAR: ACCIDENTAL TROUBLE MAGNET will be released in the United Kingdom on 18th April 2019. Thanks to the Amazon Vine Programme for the ARC of this book.
