Roshani Chokshi

Best-selling author Rick Riordan presents best-selling author Roshani Chokshi and her sequel to Aru Shah and the End of Time. Aru is only just getting the hang of this whole Pandava thing when the Otherworld goes into full panic mode. The god of love's bow and arrow have gone missing, and the thief isn't playing Cupid. Instead, they're turning people into heartless fighting-machine zombies. If that weren't bad enough, somehow Aru gets framed as the thief. If she doesn't find the arrow by the next full moon, she'll be kicked out of the Otherworld. For good. But, for better or worse, she won't be going it alone. Along with her soul-sister, Mini, Aru will team up with Brynne, an ultra-strong girl who knows more than she lets on, and Aiden, the boy who lives across the street and is also hiding plenty of secrets. Together they'll battle demons, travel through a glittering and dangerous serpent realm, and discover that their enemy isn't at all who they expected.

“Isn’t that…you?” said Mini, the tiniest amount of uncertainty flickering in her voice. 

Real Aru pointed at Fake Aru, who was currently unleashing a powerful uppercut against the other Pandava girl. The bow and arrow were on the ground behind them. 

And then both of them were gone, leaving Aru and Mini alone with a new quest…and a new sister.

Aru did not have a crush. That was for certain. What she had was a desire not to look like someone who combed their hair with a fork and thought eggs grew on trees or something equally ridiculous. That was all.

“Remember,” Hanuman said in a tone that Aru had come to recognize as 

, “nobody wins when the family feuds.” 

Aru frowned. “Did you just quote Jay-Z?” 

Aiden started snickering, but he stopped short when Brynne glared at him. 

Hanuman’s tail switched, and he scowled. “What? 

Sometimes when she slept, their epic fight replayed in her mind. And yet the worst nightmare of all wasn’t how awful he was then…but how kind he’d been long ago. In the Kingdom of Death, she’d seen a vision of him in the hospital when she was born, his T-shirt reading I’M A DAD! He must have held her when she was a baby. He must have once, even if only for a second, loved her.

That's legit me when i didn't want to talk about boys with my mamá. 

“Urvashi told me a lot of things, actually,” said her mom. 

“Anything you want to talk about?” asked her mom. 

“What about the Acharyas’ son across the street—?” 

“Because you know you can tell me anything.” 

Aru mumbled, “I’d rather walk in front of a bus.”

“All I’m saying is that no one can take your place if you make room for them. Trust yourself more than you distrust others. Does that make sense?”

“I didn’t mean it like that—” said Aru. 

They stood there, waited a moment, and then started laughing. It wasn’t their first fight, and it wouldn’t be their last. But fights between good friends are a bit like lightning: a flash of anger, and then it’s fine.

She was ARU SHAH. Devourer of Twizzlers and Swedish Fish. Bearer of a Ridiculously Powerful Lightning Bolt. Daughter of the God of Thunder and Lightning. Vessel of Movie Quotes. 

She was not going to let herself feel embarrassed in front of anyone.
