First, thank you very much to libro.fm, Scholastic Audio, and Sayantani DasGupta for the librarian listening copy!



I have an embarrassing confession to make. This book? This book has been on my TBR for ... wait for it... ALMOST TWO YEARS. W H A T?!

Luckily, the shelter in place order means that I have had lots of time around the house needing screen breaks, so I've been listening to a LOT of my TBR. I'm so excited to have been able to get a copy of this through libro.fm and get to listen! :)

Are you looking for action? Adventure? Mystical journeys through interdimensional spaces, an exploration of physics and black holes, rhyming rakkhoshi demons, AND one yellow bird with a serious penchant for dad jokes? Then you are in the right place! Pick this one up and join Kiran on an unforgettable adventure ... and enjoy some eggcellent puns that will crack you right up along the way. ;)

I enjoyed the humor in this book and I think that some kids would devour this. It is wonderful that there is a female lead. I really enjoyed learning about West Bengal mythology. I am looking forward to sequels!

Inspirée de contes pour enfants et de poèmes indiens, cette histoire, c'est du jamais vu pour moi! J'ai été captivée du début à la fin! On a l'impression que les personnages font vraiment leur âge, on y retrouve les malaises de l'adolescence.

Cette histoire est écrite à la première personne et j'ai opté pour le format audio. J'avais donc vraiment l'impression que la personnage principale me racontait ses aventures. J'ai aussi aimé que la finale soit une vraie finale et qu'elle ne se termine pas sur un énorme

You all know that mythology is my weakness and my ticket to get rid of reading slump.
It was entertaining and I loved the characters, their stories and their sense of humour.
If you like adventure, action, monsters and funny moments then I am sure you will like this.
I was surprised by the writing style and the pictures.
This was so fun to read!

I got half way through and got bored. I might pick it back up again though.
