Critics Review
It has the feel of the Tom Gates and the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books, but here our hero is Omar, a young Muslim boy who lives with his parents, younger brother Esa and elder sister Maryam … the illustrations are jolly, the writing is light on its feet
and Mian’s gentle mixing of humour and Muslim tradition is fresh and necessary. - The TimesAbout The Author
