Overview
Step onto Planet Omar with this joyful five-book paperback collection from Zanib Mian, following irrepressible young hero Omar through house moves, new schools, mosque emergencies, rocket-building contests, and everyday family chaos. Illustrated in a lively cartoon style, each installment mixes laugh-out-loud humor with warm, honest storytelling about friendship, faith, and finding your place. Perfect for fans of Tom Gates and Diary of a Wimpy Kid, this beloved series gives confident young readers five complete adventures to devour, revisit, and share with siblings and classmates.
About the Books
Across all five books, Omar narrates his life in a diary-style voice packed with doodles and comic timing that makes ordinary school days feel like an adventure. In Accidental Trouble Magnet, moving house and a new school collide with a class bully, while Eid brings celebration. Unexpected Super Spy turns a Nerf-battle savings fund into a mission to save Omar's mosque. Incredible Rescue Mission sends Omar and best friend Daniel to cheer up a little sister during a hospital stay, while Epic Hero Flop and Ultimate Rocket Blast bring bigger challenges, from playground rivalries to a rocket-building competition. Omar's family—including his no-nonsense mom, chaotic little brother Esa, and teenage sister Maryam—ground the humor in relatable home life. Zanib Mian writes with own-voices authenticity about a British Muslim family, weaving Islamic traditions naturally alongside themes of friendship and growing up. Nasaya Mafaridik's illustrations appear on nearly every page, making the books inviting for reluctant readers.
