Aru Shah and the Tree of Wishes
Publisher: Scholastic
Aru Shah is the daughter of a goddess, a Deva, and along with her sisters Mini and Brynne and their friend Aiden, she has to save the Otherworld from a war between Devas and demons. The bond between the sisters is powerful and seems unbreakable. Yet a prophecy tells them that one of the sisters will prove untrustworthy. Aru fears it will be her…
Aru Shah and the Tree of Wishes is a witty, warm and contemporary take on stories from Indian mythology, with vivid characters and hilarious dialogue that simply whisk you through the pages. Aru is a strong leader, but the real fun is the team’s dynamic, especially Aru’s relationship with her socially awkward sister Mini, the daughter of Death.
This is the third book in a series, and so we strongly recommend reading them in order, starting with Aru Shah and the End of Time. This is a gripping and funny series that will easily satisfy readers who love Percy Jackson or Skulduggery Pleasant and are looking for a new fantasy series to devour.
