I've never read this book, but I really want to now that I've read your description.
Love the book it reminds me of Percy Jackson and the lightning thief and it talks about the Indian gods just like Percy Jackson learning about the gods and who his father was.BEST BOOK EVER!!!😍😻👍🏻❤️
AGREED! :D
I loved this book! This is a story about Aru Shah, who can´t seem to fit in with other kinds in her 7th-grade class. She has a natural talent; Making up things. One day, the kids don´t believe what she says about the cursed lamp in the museum that her mom apparently owns. She sets out to prove that it is cursed, and the curiosity of hers is what leads to the adventure of life, destiny, humor, and hope. I recommend this book for people who are indeed interested in Rick Riordan´s Percy Jackson´s series and The Kane Chronicles. I got hooked up with this amazing tale, and I loved. I think you will, too!
This was a hilarious book! For people who Rick Riodan's books.
Aru Shah is a normal 7th grader who lives with her mother in a ancient Indian museum. Aru has a humorous personality and dreams of going to Paris. But, when she meets these kids who tell her these Indian stories that are not true, Aru wanted to prove it to them, so she brought to her museum. There, she lit a magical lamp, BUT......this was a very special lamp that would curse Aru. Now, Aru has to face these CRAZY adventures to save her frozen mother and classmates! Read Aru Shah to find out more in this suspenseful book!

Aru Shah and the End of Time is such a good book! So it's about a girl named Aru Shah who doesn't really fit in at her school.......So she lies, they're not all lies some are just half-truths. But as her classmates start to think she's lying they come to the museum where she and her mother live. And they dare her to light a lamp.........A lamp she's been told is very dangerous. Now she must race to undo what she's done! In only nine mortal days!
This book is super great if you have read any of the Rick Riordan books or just like Indian myths. When I started reading it I had a limited expanse of knowledge for Indian myths and knew a couple gods and monsters. But this book does a great job of weaving the modern world with Indian heritage and stories.
this book was super good i could not stop reading it! it was pretty funny and entertaining to read my favorite part was when they were in the palace of illusions
Ok, after reading this book I have to say: don't do what people dare you to do! She didn't think lighting the lamp would do anything, but it seriously made so much trouble.
