Review:

This is the 3rd book in the Planet Omar series. Just like the first two, this one is full of funny content, witty personalities and exciting adventures. I love how the friendship of the three boys flourishes over the course of each book. While one of the boys is a sceptic about this space-centered theory, he stuck along with his friends investigating this mystery until everything comes to light. Mrs. Rogers becomes friend of the family I really enjoyed the trip the family takes to Pakistan and the light and humorous perspective of Omar's voice describing his observations and most inner thoughts. The sibling rivalry between Omar and Maryam doesn't fail to give the reader giggles in this one and of course when finding themselves in a pickle, Omar can count on Maryam to be there by his side. These books definitely fill a void in the market that center around a Muslim boy protagonist for this age group. Throughout the book there are bits of Islamic references and information and in the end, Omar remembers to turn to Allah for the help he is truly seeking. With every book that the author, @zanibmian, publishes her talent is very obvious to the audience she is serving. Through her writing, it is clear that she prioritizes Muslim readers above others. This book set is hilarious and definitely a relatable MUST read for Muslim kids.
