Best-selling
author Rick Riordan presents the third book in the Hindu-based, best-selling
Pandava series by Roshani Chokshi, in which Aru and her cohorts, Mini, Brynne,
and Aiden—and now a pair of twins—each search the Otherworld for Kalpavriksha,
the wish-granting tree.
War between the devas and the demons is imminent, and the
Otherworld is on high alert. When intelligence from the human world reveals
that the Sleeper is holding a powerful clairvoyant and her sister captive,
14-year-old Aru and her friends launch a search-and-rescue mission. The
captives, a pair of twins, turn out to be the newest Pandava sisters, though,
according to a prophecy, one sister is not true.
During the celebration of Holi, the heavenly attendants stage a
massage PR rebranding campaign to convince everyone that the Pandavas are to be
trusted. As much as Aru relishes the attention, she fears that she is destined
to bring destruction to her sisters, as the Sleeper has predicted. Aru believes
that the only way to prove her reputation 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 . . .

Excerpt From ARU SHAH AND THE TREE OF WISHES (Pandava Quartet #3)
ARU SHAH IS NOT SPIDER-MAN
Aru Shah had a gigantic lightning bolt, and she really wanted to use it.
“Please don’t, Shah,” begged her friend Aiden. “If you electrocute the targets with Vajra . . . we’ve blown this Pandava mission.”
“Puh-leeze,” said Aru, hoping she sounded more confident than she felt. “I’m the daughter of the god of thunder and lightning. Electricity is practically my thing.”
“Yesterday you stuck a fork in the toaster,” pointed out Aiden.
“It was just for a second, and it was holding my breakfast prisoner.”
A gust of wind hit the back of Aru’s head, and she turned to see a huge eagle with sapphire-colored feathers swooping toward them. The bird dove to the ground and in a flash of blue light transformed into Brynne, her soul sister and the daughter of the god of the wind.
“No visuals on the targets,” Brynne said. “Also, Aiden’s right. I seriously don’t trust you around electricity.”
Roshani Chokshi is the author of the
instant New York Times best-selling books in the Pandava series, Aru Shah and
the End of Time, and its sequel, Aru Shah and the Song of Death. She also wrote
the New York Times best-selling YA books The Star-Touched Queen and The Gilded
Wolves. She studied fairy tales in college, and she has a pet luck dragon that
looks suspiciously like a Great Pyrenees dog. The Pandava novels were inspired
by the stories her grandmother told her as well as Roshani's all-consuming love
for Sailor Moon. She lives in the south and says "y'all," but she
doesn't really have a Southern accent. Her Twitter handle is @roshani_chokshi.

Awesome you're part of the blog tour. I need to start this series. I just saw this book on another site and am exited to read it once I get caught up.
ReplyDeleteI read Aru Shah and the End of Time when it was nominated for the Cybils, it was entertaining and fast paced. The Rick Riordan Presents has a wonderful selection of books by diverse/own voices authors. I'm really looking forward to reading City of the Plague God by Sarwat Chadda.
DeleteLooking forward to this one lots!
ReplyDeleteI have been wanting to read one of the Rick Riordan Presents books. This one sounds wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI've read the first books in the Aru Shah And The End Of Time, The Storm Runner and Dragon Pearl series. And can't wait for City of the Plague God.
