Who knew that running away from a test would put you into an even harder one?

When Jean and Ben decided to cheat the school rules and go somewhere they should not, they definitely did not expect bizarre events to follow, that could possibly change their lives for the worst…


Follow their adventures as they get dragged unexpectedly into a completely different world – The Secret of SmithTopia.


To their surprise, Jean and Ben find themselves in real danger. Will they survive and get out of the mysterious and strange world? And what challenges will they have to face?


Read to find out the facts and fantasies about The Secret of SmithTopia through Jean and Ben’s magical journey (but not the type of typical magic you would expect!)

His interests in writing began when he was 10 years old. He wrote a short story in school that impressed the whole school.

    Hello Mr. Salah, I enjoyed reading your book 'The Secret of SmithTopia'. I liked the lesson at the end that encourages kids not to cheat on exams & tests.  While I was reading your book, Mrs Fitzgerald came up with the name for her team, 'The Girl Gang'  I think you should change it to something more friendly and appropriate, for example 'The Girl Squad or Team'.  Since this book is intended for children, you should add a pop of color to the book cover. Children usually judge a book by its cover.  I hope that my feedback is positive & constructive!

    My 7-year-old son loved this book! He kept telling me about the drawings and loved the ending, no spoilers!!

  • Luna

    I bought this book for my 8-year-old sister and she loved reading it. She kept talking about it and showing me the pictures. The illustrations in this book are very unique, definitely recommend!

    I enjoyed this book thoroughly from start to finish, I think all characters have an exciting purpose and it’s a very heartwarming story with a great ending, perfect for reading to any child in your life.

    What really drew me to this book, was the unique storytelling and plot. It’s about two children who want to do well in school and go to scary lengths to achieve that! The best part for me was, when the creatures from Smithtopia worked with Ben and Jeen to free people from the jail they were put in. It’s still kid-friendly but also has some big words that you may want to explain to them.

    Overall, it’s a must-read if you want a real light heart book or want your child to have an adventurous time and explore Smithtopia.

  • The book was really good and I really enjoyed reading it, but just one small thing I think that the pictures should be on the same page as the writing.
