Sunita's Secret: A Coppergate School Story

by Narinder Dhami

Another fabulous story set in the same world as the popular Bindi Babes .

At her new school, Sunita tries to hide her secret but, thanks to class “goddess” Celina, her classmates soon find out that Sunita’s dad is an infamous fraudster on the run. Although she tries to keep her head down, somehow Sunita can’t hide her natural instinct for helping others and she starts doing little favours for people secretly. And, oddly, a rash of helpful book-mending, locker-tidying and present-leaving quickly takes over the school. Even Celina seems to be affected — but when she tries to take credit for the scheme, Sunita can see her motives are far from innocent. Should Sunita put up or shut up?

I really enjoyed this book! A very short read for me as I've outgrown her books quite a bit but still love to read them as a pastime. Would be very entertaining for young girls aged 9+ as it has a not-so-serious plot but still contains drama and suspense throughout.
Overall, would reccomend as a pleasing holiday read.

I read this book a long time ago, and I still go back to it every so often! Important message but wrote in a way that isn’t too hard hitting

I loved this book. Not only did it have great characterisation but the difficult real world issues were handled realistically and with great empathy. But I what I loved the most was the message this book sends out about how an acorn of a good deed can grow into a mighty oak. I highly recommend this book, especially for anyone with low esteem.

So sweet at times it's like being spoon-fed honey... and yet I really liked this. There is a really lovely message in there, and the audiobook, as read by Nina Wadia, is engaging throughout.
