Luckily, Leicester is also the home of the National Space Centre which Anisha and Milo have always wanted to visit.
The Mistry family journey would be a drama in itself but things get much, much more exciting when they get to Leicester and find that the famous, hugely valuable diamond that should be on display as the centre piece of the festival has gone missing. Can Anisha’s granny really be the person who stole it as the police think?
Anisha needs her best detective skills to free her granny from suspicion and find the real thieves.

Anisha went to a science fair in Leicester and a rare diamond was stolen. Anisha found the thief who was put in jail. Anisha is a magnificent detective!
I love the Anisha books. This is the second I've read and I have just pleaded with my mummy to buy the third. I read it in 2 days as I wanted to do a book review on the book for school. I loved this book because it’s about a 10 year old girl who goes to Leicester to go to a science fair and there is a exhibit for a rare diamond. The diamond is stolen and Anisha's Granny was picking up the case and the police walked in and thought Granny was the thief so they took her to jail and put her in custody.... Read Full Review
This hilarious book should be read by fans of Tom Gates, Planet Omar and Cookie.
This book is hilarious. This amazing book was about a girl called Anisha Mistry and her crazy, loud family. When they go on a trip to a science museum, (with her best friend Milo Moon) something unexpected happens. One of her family members are arrested for being suspected of stealing a famous, valuable diamond when it goes missing in broad daylight. My favourite part is when Milo and Manny dress up as grannies.
My favourite character is Anisha because she is very quick at solving mysteries and she never gives up. I love the drawings.... Read Full Review
This book kept me guessing till the end!
I enjoyed this book, I liked that they went to the space centre (I’ve been there myself!). It was a bit funny, easy to read. My favourite character was Anisha because she’s a lot like me. The mystery kept me guessing, I did not work out who had stolen the diamond!... Read Full Review
