Aru Shah and the End of Time



Aru Shah and the End of Time (Pandava Quartet, #1)

I love this middle-grade fantasy book by Roshani Chokshi. It's the first book of the Aru Shah series which is great with exciting plot, characters, and creatures from ancient Hindu mythology,  highly recommended for fans of Rick Riordan.
Twelve-year-old Aru Shah makes up stories to stretch the truth in order to fit in with her classmates. she'll take her autumn break at home, in the Museum of Ancient Indian Art and Culture, waiting for her mom from her latest trip.

One day, three schoolmates catch her in a lie. They don't believe her claim that the museum's Lamp of Bharata is cursed, and they dare Aru to prove it. When she lights the lamp, she frees the awful Sleeper, an ancient demon who would awaken the God of Destruction, and she freezes the world, her classmates and mother. She has to save them.
Aru discovers she is a reincarnation of one of the five Pandava brothers in the Mahabharata, and must journey through the Underworld with a soul sister, Mini. Basing ancient Indian mythology, Chokshi gives us an exciting adventure with a similar tone and fast pacing to Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan.
