shelbzyanne 's review for:
City of the Plague God
by Sarwat Chadda
This novel is centered around Sikander Aziz, a 13 year old boy from a family who migrated to Manhattan from Iraq. They own a little restaurant in town called "Mo's" after his big brother who died in an accident. This book has shocking relevance, as a deathly sickness hits the city after the Mesopotamian god, Nergal, poisons it on his search for the flower of immortality; he believes that Sik possesses it. Along the way, you meet famous characters like Ishtar, the goddess of love and war, and Gilgamesh, the famous epic hero. It is a story of perseverance, friendship, and of an unlikely hero saving the day. It was action packed and so cool to see the Mesopotamian gods come to life.
