 After unwittingly waking an ancient demon from a cursed lamp, Aru has until the new moon to stop him ending the world. Think Percy Jackson but with a feisty female protagonist (two counting her hypochondriac ‘sister’ Mini) and Hindu mythology. Loved the humour, and the bond that developed between the girls, the way their strengths complemented each other. Really enjoyed learning more about Hindu mythology- the glossary at the back was certainly appreciated. A cracking story that will be perfect for my future grandchildren.
