jdalton 's review for:

City of the Plague God by Sarwat Chadda
5.0

Huge thanks to Disney publishing and netgalley for a review copy of this book.

I love mythology and there aren’t enough books that have Mesopotamian Gods in them. And there’s a huge lack of Muslim/middle eastern heroes in books too.

This book was great in helping to fill that gap (though we need more!) and I can’t wait/hope there will be more about Sik and his friends especially if they’re as adventurous and imaginative as this book. And man do I really want some middle eastern food now!

This is a great book for young kids and adults alike, and wonderful for representation and teaching kids about heroes from other parts of the world and cultures.
