Aru Shah and the End of Time by Roshani Chokshi

5.0

What a fun read! I was chuckling all the way through it while moving seamlessly through all kinds of imaginative scenes filled with wonderful Indian folklore. My absolute favorite quote was, “Maybe that's why superheroes wore capes. Maybe they weren't capes at all, but safety blankets, like the one Aru kept at the bottom of her bed and pulled up under her chin before she went to sleep. Maybe superheroes just tied their blankies around their necks so they'd have a little bit of comfort wherever they went. Because honestly? Saving the world was scary." That sets the tone, doesn't it? Perfect for readers 8 to 14 and anywhere above that.
