So Princess Kiranmala is back!! And she has to save Prince Neel from where he has been kidnapped by the Serpent King by competing in Who Wants To Be A Demonslayer? a new reality TV show in the Kingdom Beyond.
I really enjoyed the first book of this series, The Serpent's Secret, but this book took everything that was great about book one and made it better! The worldbuilding is both fantastic and hilarious, the characters become more complex (and can I just say I am absolutely in love with the ...more

yesssssssssssss Kiranmala is back!!!!!!!!
So grateful for this series - love that stories that are based in other cultures are finally being written!
I appreciated the endnotes that gave even more info about where parts of the story originated from.

Magic and moral complexity and monsters and pink-sari-wearing resistance fighters on skateboards... oh my!
What a fun middle-grade adventure.
This is a great follow-up to the first book, and it sets up the next one quite nicely.
I guessed a key plot twist fairly early on, but that in no way diminished how amusing the adventure was.
And [spoilers] any book that ends, after a major magical climactic battle, with our heroes shouting "To New Jersey!" [/spoilers] is a book well worth reading. Heehee.

In this adventure, Kiran goes back to the Kingdom beyond to save her friend Prince Neel who has been taken prisoner by the Serpent King. To do this, she has to join the reality TV show, "Who

I really enjoyed returning to the world of Kiranmala with book 2. Book 1 was more of self-discovery, where this book had more of a lesson against prejudice and racism, with the framework of Bengali folktales and girl power. Awesome read for upper elementary readers and beyond.

Kiran has been waiting for her friends from the Kingdom Beyond to call on her, but she never could have dreamed of being drawn back by the Demon Queen to save Neel from a game show that is taking over the realm - all run by her evil serpent father! DasGupta will keep young readers entertained with another humorous adventure full of monsters and mayhem. Kiran will need to figure out who to trust if she hopes to save those who loves!
