With a whole host of suspects and a busy crime scene, Zaiba needs to stay focused if she’s going to get to the bottom of the cake catastrophe…

Daniela Sosa is originally from Romania, but she now lives in the UK and is completing a master’s degree in children’s book illustrations at the Cambridge School of Art. She loves to travel, which is where she gets a lot of her inspiration from.
Book Review
I really enjoyed reading it and couldn’t put it down I just wanted to find out what happened next
I really enjoyed the book Agent Zaiba Investigates The Poison Plot because its about investigating and crime. The story is based around a summer fete which doesn’t go as planned and they have to solve the crime to try and win the baking competition. Zabia can’t do it alone, with the help of her friend Poppy and her little brother Ali it makes the investigation more interesting.
If you buy and read this book you won’t regret it, I really enjoyed reading it and couldn’t put it down I just wanted to find out what happened next. The book has an attractive front cover which made me want to read it and then when I read the blurb, I couldn’t wait to start.
It made me feel like I wanted to solve the crime and I shouldn’t give up I should keep trying and see where it leads you.
I would say it’s suitable for 8 to 11 year olds.
