Rani Reports on the Missing Millions

Ten-year-old Rani is so excited – her nani from Mauritius is coming to stay! Rani hopes she’ll help her find something to write about for the junior journalist competition. On Nani’s first day in the UK, they discover that an eccentric millionaire has set up a fiendish treasure hunt. This will be perfect for Rani’s article! But they have many rivals trying to solve the clues, and wannabe journalist Lexi is filming everything and getting it wrong. Can Rani and Nani find the keys to the puzzle in time?

Starring a cheeky parrot, a granny bursting with energy and a resourceful girl, this is the first in a fun young series. There are tips on being a journalist at the back, along with a recipe for delicious Mauritian chilli cakes and a glossary of the Mauritian Creole words that Nani occasionally uses. It is a relatively chunky book, but the font is large and there are many delightful illustrations by Navya Raju sprinkled throughout.
