As the title suggests Omar and Bear take the wrong train, which instead of leading them to Pakistan, they go to India. eir epic adventure takes them both on a sometimes comedic sensory overload, lled with the kindness of strangers and wonderful new smells of foods they had never imagined were possible. Famous historical sights await them and the reader can immerse themselves in this wonderfully descriptive text lled with colourful photographs. Omar and Bear the Wrong Train will take you on your own journey to India, a journey I made earlier this year (before you know what!) and it’s a wonderful reminder of my own holiday.
