Über das Buch

Best-selling author Rick Riordan introduces this fantasy adventure by New York Times best-selling author, Roshani Chokshi, inspired by the great epics she grew up on.
Named one of 100 Best Fantasy Books of All Time by Time magazine!
Twelve-year-old Aru Shah has a tendency to stretch the truth in order to fit in at school. While her classmates are jetting off to family vacations in exotic locales, she'll be spending her autumn break at home, in the Museum of Ancient Indian Art and Culture, waiting for her mom to return from her latest archeological trip. Is it any wonder that Aru makes up stories about being royalty, traveling to Paris, and having a chauffeur?
One day, three schoolmates show up at Aru's doorstep to 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. Just a quick light, Aru thinks. Then she can get herself out of this mess and never ever fib again.
But lighting the lamp has dire consequences. She unwittingly frees the Sleeper, an ancient demon whose duty it is to awaken the God of Destruction. Her classmates and beloved mother are frozen in time, and it's up to Aru to save them.
The only way to stop the demon is to find the reincarnations of the five legendary Pandava brothers, protagonists of the Hindu epic poem, the Mahabharata, and journey through the Kingdom of Death. But how is one girl in Spider-Man pajamas supposed to do all that?
A New York Times best-seller.
Endorsed by Rick Riordan, author of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, soon to be a series on Disney+.

    So this was cute and very well written but I guess I'm not the right audience for it. All in all it was a but too much for those 350 pages. It wanted to be funny so badly that it felt forced and that just made it very hard for me to read, I'm sorry...

    This book could have been a four-star-read, because Roshani Chokshi obviously knows how to write and the characters are so funny. But it was one hurdle after another in a constantly shifting environment and I missed constancy of anything. I would have liked to see more of the day-to-day afterward, you know, magic school-like stuff, the training and so on. So maybe I'll read on in hopes of getting this in the second book. Now, if you feel like a fastpaced, witty road-trip through supernatural places of Indian mythology, go ahead and give this one a try! If that was more my pace, I would add a forth star for sure.
