Planet Omar: Accidental Trouble Magnet: Book 1
Welcome, readers, to the imaginative brain of Omar! 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 combination of Zanib Mian’s hilarious text and Nasaya Mafaridik’s fantastic cartoon-style illustrations make the PLANET OMAR series perfect for fans of Tom Gates and Wimpy Kid.
Zanib Mian is a World Book Day author for 2021 with her Planet Omar title, Operation Kind.
Chosen as the CBBC Book of the Month for June 2019.
Previously published as ‘THE MUSLIMS’, this was the winner of the Little Rebels Award in June 2018. The text has been revised, expanded with new scenes and re-illustrated.

This book was amazing! It dealt with hard topics in a way that children would and it was very representative of the Muslim experience. I loved the character of Omar who was so relatable and funny and I found the growth of characters throughout the book to be amazing. It truly showed that kindness is the best way forward.
I loved this book and my favorite character is Omar. The book is about Omar starting a new school but a bully named Daniel bullies Omar until they both get lost in London. The two boys become friends in the end . I would recommend this book.
I really liked the part when they were trying to get away from the zombie. I would recommend it to a seven-year old person.
The book is sooo good .Love it .
It was great! It's so nice to see different religions and a very relatable plot also H20 in general is So cool! I honestly adore this book but why I put 4* is because I feel like it was extremely disrespectful that they said that the poor old man was a zombie,if I was there In real life I'd tell him it's a poor man from the beginning
It was about a boy who goes missing with a bully called Daniel.

Amazing!!!1
Daniel said that he would kick Omar out of his school, house and country but he didn't do it and they became friends in the end which was lovely
Planet Omar: Accidental Trouble Magnet is a fascinating and intriguing book which made this review five stars. Zanib Mian and Nasaya Mafaridik are an amazing duo and dedicated this fabulous read to people that ever felt that being different is a bad thing. The story is written in first person about a young boy named Omar. His family have moved house and from nasty school bullies to a rude and arrogant neighbour, life is proving to be a roller coaster of a ride, but with his imagination, anything is possible.
Great book and adventure! One of the 5 books series , Omar's super adventure, every book different story ! Recommended
