Aru Shah and the End of Time by Roshani Chokshi
4.0
Aru lives in the Museum of Ancient Indian Art and Culture with her mother. Her father left when she was young and her mother travels all over to find more artifacts for the museum. Aru wishes she was cooler, had more friends, and had a mom who spent more time with her. Aru's way of escaping is by using her imagination and creating elaborate stories to explain her life. These stories frustrate her classmates, who feel lied to. When several classmates call Aru on a lie and force her to light the Lamp of Bharata, which enacts the curse tied to it. Now everyone around Aru is frozen. She must join her soul sister and their pigeon guide, Boo, to save the universe from ending.
This book is funny. It is unique, by bringing in Indian mythology. I enjoy the fact that the main characters are heroines as opposed to the traditional heroes. I can't wait to read the next book in the series.
