"This sequel to Accidental Trouble Magnet (2020) retains the lighthearted humor of the first and continues to seamlessly weave Islamic and Pakistani cultures and Arabic and Urdu terms into the everyday lives and practices of Omar’s British Pakistani family. . . . [It] focuses on the importance of community and the spaces that foster identity, growth, and love. A charming follow-up for an endearing hero." -Kirkus Reviews

"This highly-illustrated mystery will be devoured by any kid that reads it . . . Perfect to bridge the chapter book/graphic novel divide." -Here & Now, WBUR
