(Disclaimer: I received this book from the author. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.)
The Destiny of Minou Moonshine is a middle grade story about the stories within stories. It's about family and friendship when we think we have no one. This middle grade debut is full of action with covert double agents, spying, and rebellion all in one. It's sure to thrill middle grade readers who want adventure while also examining power structures.

I quite enjoyed the story in this book, though it felt quite trope-y in places (I suspect a child not used to them wouldn't notice/care!).
Some of the words and terms I did need to look up, a small glossary at the back might've been an idea for those of us not steeped in Indian culture, that's something to be aware of if you're giving this to a child.
Overall I'd recommend it, it was a fun story and the characters are very likeable
I received an advance copy for free from NetGalley, on the expectation that I would provide an honest review.
