Welcome, readers, to the imaginative brain of Omar! You might not know me yet, but once you open the pages of this book, you'll laugh so hard that snot will come out of your nose (plus, you might meet a dragon and a zombie—what more could you want?).

My parents decided it would be a good idea to move house and move me to a new school at the same time. As if I didn't have a hard enough time staying out of trouble at home, now I've also got to try and make new friends. What's worse, the class bully seems to think I'm the perfect target.

At least Eid's around the corner, which means a feast (YAY) and presents (DOUBLE YAY). Well, as long as I can stay in Mum and Dad's good books long enough...

The combination of Zanib Mian's hilarious text and Nasaya Mafaridik's fantastic cartoon-style illustrations make the Planet Omar series perfect for fans of Tom Gates and Wimpy Kid.

Previously published as The Muslims, this was the winner of the Little Rebels Award in June 2018. The text has been revised, expanded with new scenes, and re-illustrated.

About the Author

Zanib Mian (Author)

Zanib Mian's books have featured on BBC's CBeebies Bedtime Stories and The Guardian for their contribution to diversity in children's literature. She was a World Book Day author in 2021, and her work has been translated into multiple languages. Zanib studied Molecular Cell Biology at University College London and went on to teach Science in secondary schools before she made the decision to give up the career to create change within children's publishing. She felt that diverse characters from all minorities and backgrounds weren't being fully represented in books for young children. She launched Sweet Apple Publishers with a clear commitment to publishing inclusive books, many of which she has authored herself.
