You’ll love every second of this entertaining, Indian mythology adventure. She says things like “ Be good, sweet beetle-dung toadstools.” Okay, Kiranmala’s parents are super awesome, too. The prince’s demon grandma, Ai-Ma, is my FAVORITE character.
But there’s a lot more she’ll learn - like who her real parents are (yikes!) and that demons can be your friends.
Kiranmala discovers on her 12th birthday that she’s a princess from another realm and her parents are trapped in a black hole-type place. This story pulls you in from the first page. The Serpent’s Secret( Kiranmala and the Kingdom Beyond #1) by Sayantani Dasgupta
Fortunately, a persistent classmate Violet Rey (also his crush) helps Charlie follow the clues to find out what happened to his parents and if he’s the prophesied Morphling who is meant to save the world. I highly recommend Charlie Hernández and the League of Shadows by Ryan Calejo - it’s immediately engaging with the perfect balance of action, dialogue, & description interspersed with Spanish words and phrases. But it’s when he grows HORNS, the WINGS, and meets the MYTHS in real life - like calacas, mukis, and El Justo Juez - that he’s really freaked out.
