Planet Omar: Incredible Rescue Mission by Zanib Mian

Incredible Rescue Mission: Book 3 by Zanib Mian
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Thank you to NetGalley for a preview copy.
Omar lives in London, where he goes to school with his friends Charles and Daniel. One day they arrive to find that their favorite teacher Mrs. Hutchinson has been replaced by mean old Ms. Crankshaw, who is so grumpy she outlaws smiling. No one tells the class what happened to Mrs. H, so Omar and his friends set out to solve the mystery themselves. According to Omar, all clues lead to alien abduction.

Meanwhile, Omar and his family take a trip to Pakistan for a family wedding. While there, Omar learns a lot about his family's culture, and he gets some unexpected information about his teacher as well.

I like the story about a close family and students who like their teacher. Even at over 250 pages, the illustrated chapter book format makes it quick and easy to read. I think middle-grade readers who try this series will really enjoy it.
