Planet Omar: Accidental Trouble Magnet

"If you have a kid who’s a fan of the “Wimpy Kid” or “Big Nate” books, it’s time to introduce them to Omar. He’s an affable Pakistani Muslim boy living in England, and he’s just started school in a new town. He faces prejudice from a class bully and a cranky lady next door, but Omar somehow finds the funny in almost every situation. A book for younger readers that isn’t afraid to tackle real issues head-on in its own, inimitable, Omar-ish way. (For ages 8 to 12)"
