   De twaalfjarige Aru Shah woont samen met haar moeder in het Museum van Indiase Oudheden. Om aansluiting te vinden op school heeft ze de neiging de waarheid een klein beetje te verdraaien – en te verfraaien. Haar moeder heeft haar op het hart gedrukt nooit de vervloekte lamp van Bharata aan te steken, maar wanneer Aru haar klasgenoten ervan wil overtuigen dat ze geen leugenaar is, heeft ze geen keus. En inderdaad, ze sprak de waarheid, maar daardoor heeft ze nu wel een slapende demon wakker gemaakt die alles en iedereen wil vernietigen. Aru blijkt een van de Pandava-broers van haar generatie te zijn: vijf helden uit het hindoe-epos de Mahabharata. Ze moet de Slaper stoppen, samen met een bedeesd maar moedig meisje dat ook een Pandava is en met een sarcastische duif – en hopelijk ook met een beetje hulp van de goden.

3. Rick Riordan Presents Aru Shah and the Tree of Wishes (A Pandava Novel Book 3) (Pandava Series)

   • Roshani Chokshi

   War between the devas and the demons is imminent, and the Otherworld is on high alert. Fourteen-year-old Aru Shah and her friends are sent on a mission to rescue two "targets," one of whom is about to utter a prophecy that could mean the difference between victory and defeat. Turns out the targets, a pair of twins, are the newest Pandava sisters, though the prophecy says that one sister is not true. When the Pandavas fail to prevent the prophecy from reaching the Sleeper's ears, the heavenly attendants ask them to step aside. Aru believes that the only way to put the shine back on their brand is to find the Kalpavriksha, the wish-granting tree that came out of the Ocean of Milk when it was churned. If she can reach it before the Sleeper, perhaps she can turn everything around with one wish. Careful what you wish for, Aru . . .

   Best-selling author Rick Riordan Presents the penultimate book in the Pandava series by best-selling author Roshani Chokshi. Aru and her sisters--including one who also claims to be the Sleeper's daughter--must find their mentors Hanuman and Urvashi in Lanka, the city of gold, before war breaks out between the devas and asuras. Aru has just made a wish on the tree of wshes, but she can't remember what it was. She's pretty sure she didn't wish for a new sister, one who looks strangely familiar and claims to be the Sleeper's daughter, like her. Aru also isn't sure she still wants to fight on behalf of the devas in the war against the Sleeper and his demon army. The devas have been too devious up to now. Case in point: two of the Pandavas' mentors, Hanuman and Urvashi, have been mysteriously detained in Lanka, the city of gold. Why? The Pandavas need to find them and get some answers before the Otherworld's magic fades completely in the human realm. Aru's biggest question, though, is why every adult she has loved and trusted so far has failed her. Will she come to peace with what they've done before she has to wage the battle of her life? Filled with wondrous magic, unforgettable creatures, manipulative gods, and laugh-out-loud dialogue, this fourth book in the Pandava series will leave readers wishing they could read the finale right now.
