Brave the Betrayal by K.A. Applegate

5.0

This series continues to deliver. This time the group enters the territory of a group of African gods, represented by the trickster god Eshu. The narrator of this volume, Jalil, refuses to make a sacrifice to appease the gods, invoking their wrath. Most of the book takes place in a bizarre backwards world, with blue clouds in a white sky and upside-down mountains shaped like Vs instead of ^.

It's worth mentioning that despite the fact that while the writing avoids swearing besides the occasional "crap," this book contains a grisly first person account of being ripped apart by lions.
