Aru Shah and the End of Time by Roshani Chokshi
5.0

Absolutely delightful. I'd had this on my TBR for awhile and finally pulled it out in a bout of depression. I'm so glad I did. Aru is desperate to fit in. She feels lonely amongst her fancy private school peers and invents stories to make herself feel better. When on a dare she accidentally sets free an evil demon, Aru is thrust into the world of Hindu gods and goddesses. I learned SO much from this book, be it the sanskrit numbers or details about the Hindu pantheon. The cast of characters are amazing, fitting within a Rick Riordan universe, and I can't wait to read more with them.
