The Dastardly Duo
The Dastardly Duo is an action-packed and brilliantly hilarious story written by Bangladesh-born, Newcastle-raised Burhana Islam.
The sequel to Mayhem Mission follows Yusef at school as he runs for class president and learns what it really means to be honourable - after some hilarious and chaotic mishaps, of course!
