Aru Shah and the End of Time (Pandava Quartet, #1)

by Roshani Chokshi

“Sometimes light illuminates things that are better left in the dark. Besides, you never know who is watching.”

Between a demon that could end the world and a seventh-grade girl, Aru (and probably most people) would choose the demon any day.

Aru didn’t think this was particularly fair. Even famous people had been children at some point. Judges weren’t born wearing wigs and carrying gavels.

Do I get powers? Or a cape?” “There shall be no capes.” “A hat?” “No.” “Theme song?” “Please stop.”
