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.<\/em><\/p>

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.<\/p>

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.<\/p>

Careful what you wish for, Aru…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

ARU SHAH IS NOT SPIDER-MAN<\/p>
Aru Shah had a gigantic lightning bolt, and she really wanted to use it.<\/p>
\u201cPlease don\u2019t, Shah,\u201d begged her friend Aiden. \u201cIf you electrocute the targets with Vajra . . . we\u2019ve blown this Pandava mission.\u201d<\/p>
\u201cPuh-leeze,\u201d said Aru, hoping she sounded more confident than she felt. \u201cI\u2019m the daughter of the god of thunder and lightning. Electricity is practically my thing.\u201d<\/p>
\u201cYesterday you stuck a fork in the toaster,\u201d pointed out Aiden.<\/p>
\u201cIt was just for a second, and it was holding my breakfast prisoner.\u201d<\/p>
A gust of wind hit the back of Aru\u2019s 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.<\/p>
\u201cNo visuals on the targets,\u201d Brynne said. \u201cAlso, Aiden\u2019s right. I seriously don\u2019t trust you around electricity.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Doesn’t that just make you so excited? I cannot wait to actually read the book!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
