Review by ENID J D'ABREO
This is one of the best fiction books that I have read. It is a story about twelve-year-old Aru Shah who lights a lamp in the museum, where her mother works and awakens the "Sleeper". She soon realizes that she has made an epic mistake. Her actions lead her to Mini, who is also on the same quest - to save their family members who are frozen in time.
To do this, the two girls have to find the celestial weapons, so that ‘Time’ doesn’t end. They also have to find out how to stop the awful Sleeper from getting the weapons and from awakening the God of Destruction.
The story is based on Indian mythology, especially about the five Pandava brothers. Although it is the first time I have read this, it is very easy to understand, as the author explains things in detail, and there is also a glossary.
I like this book because it is full of surprises. It is also hilarious, and I laughed as I read it. I am sure that kids like me will not want to stop reading until they find out how Aru and Mini go through this mythical adventure to save the people they love.
