You want to know why representation is important in books?

Because I am 30 years old and it is only now that I have found a book that I find my young self, a young Indian girl with caustic and sarcastic attitude who is willing to go to any lengths, no matter how impossible, for her loved ones.

Rea Chettri, a 12 year old girl with a twin brother, Rohan- a brother who is now far more interested in spending time with his friends and “girls” than his own twin sister.

Rea misses the closeness they both shared; and how they would bring in their birthday together. So she is angry enough to actually hate crash Rohan’s midnight cricket match just to remind him.

So what if her mother has been behaving strangely and been making demands and giving orders that make no sense at all?

But it does make sense when her brother goes missing and she along with her friend Leela, travel to an alternate city of Astranthia, where Rea believes her brother is being kept hostage.

Rea and The Blood of Nectar, the first of what I hope is a series - is an #ownvoices adventure filled with twists, turns as well as fun and adventure filled with magical creatures!

The author delivers an intriguing novel about friendship, bravery and loyalty - and one that I do believe would resonate with tweens and teens all over the world and where young Indian girls would find themselves in.
