The Misadventures of Mina Mahmood: School Trip!

About this book

Best friends Mina, Reema and Mobeen are buzzing with excitement as they embark on their school residential trip to Shiremoor Oaks, the ultimate outdoor adventure camp. They can’t wait to try out the awesome activities on offer, from rock climbing and archery to kayaking and laser tag. They have even planned a top-secret midnight feast extravaganza, which includes cheese and onion crisps, ketchup sandwiches, and a backpack full of chicken tikka samosas.  

However, when rumours of Bertie Blackteeth start to circulate, the whole class has a serious attack of the heebie-jeebies. According to legend, Bertie disappeared many years before, on the last day of her school trip to Shiremoor Oaks. She was lured into the woods by a trail of cheese and onion crisps and can still be heard scratching at the trees and howling in the wind. 

When Mina and her friends get lost on the quad bikes, they are terrified when they accidentally stray into Bertie’s territory...

Funny, heartwarming and ideal for independent junior readers, this hilarious chapter book is enhanced by dynamic black and white illustrations. The main characters are Muslim and Mina’s Bangladeshi heritage adds another dimension to this entertaining and slightly spooky adventure.
