Excellent mystery adventure with entertaining characters and relationships.
It's perfect timing really that Rani's mum and dad are away and her grandma (Nani) is 'watching' the young wannabee reporter when the news breaks that a local millionaire has died and left a treasure hunt of clues, with the hint of secrets and winnings at the end of it. Perfect material for the Young Journalist competition, and fortunately, Nani is game to help Rani every step of the way.
Though Rani might have to contend with another eager Youtube reporter rival as well as other eager treasure seekers as they start at the art gallery with a deadline looming.
Lovely to see a trusting and happy bond between grandchild and grandparent, especially with a Nani who's up for anything and endlessly inventive (and who causes more mischief than their talkative parrot Cookie).
Some great clues to work out for the pair will involve the reader on the hunt round their town and even over the water, and this was fast-moving and cosy-feeling (no 'real' danger to the lead pair) but still exciting. Lovely to see a young protagonist interested in writing and journalism too.
The book included translations of Nani's Mauritian phrases, recipes and a short guide to writing newspaper articles, for readers who want to try the format for themselves.
Great start to a series - love the pairing of Rani and Nani!
For ages 8-12.

A brilliantly conceived story by Gabrielle Shewhorak, complete with brilliant illustrations that every budding young reporter will approve of, by Satish Shewhorak. This book will tease you, leave clues at every opportunity and test your powers of deduction. So, if you are ready for a little sleuthing, a lot of giggles and a really good book that you hope is going to be the first of many featuring this brilliant reporter read on…
Rani Reports is the search for a story. It is a treasure hunt; it is a story all about outwitting grown-ups who are sure they are cleverer than you and it is about believing in your skills of deduction. A fiendish treasure hunt has been set by a recently deceased eccentric millionaire and it is the perfect opportunity for Rani to scoop the prize she most wants – to be the local papers top junior journalist. But solving the clues that have been left is not going to be as easy as it looks on first sight. Then there is the problem of how to stay ahead of rival wannabe junior journalist Lexi who always seems to be just where Rani is… Can Rani and Nani crack the code in time? Can they outwit an apparently dangerous nemesis who will stop at nothing, and can they scoop both prizes too?
