Summary
Omar and his friends have been saving up their pocket money for ages so they can have the world's most epic Nerf Blaster battle. But when Omar discovers that his mosque is in trouble, they decide to donate their pennies to help save it.
Then they try to raise some more money by:
Doing some chores (boorrring)
Selling some home-made cookies (deeelicious)
Holding a talent contest (YESSSSSSS)
Everything goes PERFECTLY until the money mysteriously goes missing. Can they work out who has taken it in time to stop the mosque closing down?
And what exactly is Omar's sister Maryam hiding in her room...?

Reviews
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. (Children's Book of the Week)
Planet Omar: Unexpected Super Spy by Zanib Mian, with cheery illustrations by Nasaya Mafaridik, returns to the world of imaginative, impulsive Omar. Wild imaginings, daft jokes and invented swearwords add up to another funny, sweet, inclusive story
This tender, funny story about friends, family and an invisible dragon proves that humour is universal. (Patrice Lawrence, UK Children’s Laureate)
An award-winning book for newly-confident readers. Very funny, with illustrations and warm, likeable characters. (Cressida Cowell, author of How to Train Your Dragon)
Zanib Mian is a properly brilliant and funny new voice in children's fiction (BookTrust)
