any
wonder
that

makes
up
stories
about

and
it's
up

epic
poem,
theMahabharata,
and

Recenzii
*"Using
Hindu
mythology
as
the
foundation,
Chokshi
has
created
an
exciting
adventure
around
a
coming-of-age
tale.
Just
as
"Percy
Jackson"
led
tweens
to
a
deeper
exploration
and
appreciation
of
classic
Greek
mythology,
Chokshi's
tale
will
likely
inspire
a
similar
demand
for
traditional
Indian
mythology.
An
enthralling
start
to
a
series
that
Riordan
fans
and
anyone
in
the
mood
for
a
high-octane
adventure
will
love."—School
