emtabachuk 's review for:

City of the Plague God by Sarwat Chadda
4.0

I received an ARC from NetGalley.

City of the Plague God may have been a bit on the nose for me to read in New York City in the summer of 2020, but it's a wonderful addition to the Rick Riordan presents catalog.

Sik is 13 - working hard to help his parents in their deli, still mourning his older brother that passed a few years earlier. When his deli is attacked by Nergal, the Mesopotamian God of death, war and destruction, Sik must team up with Goddess Ishtar and her daughter Belet to save New York City, and Sik's family.

This middle-grade book is informative, action-packed and relatable for students (and their grown-ups). Highly recommend!
