Janell answers “HELP? I have a student who gobbled this...”

C.j. Snow asked this question about Aru Shah and the End of Time (Pandava, #1):

HELP? I have a student who gobbled this book UP! She's read the sequel and loved it too. So my question is this: what other books would you recommend that are along the lines of this book in which a 6th voracious reader would enjoy. (If it's already a bestseller, she's probably already read it.) Bonus points if the main character is a girl. Extra bonus points if there are Middle Eastern/Muslim characters! Thanks

Janell Double-check the age-appropriateness on these, but I'd think Akata Witch by Nnedi Okorafor (Leopard people mythology of Nigeria) and The Jewel and her…moreDouble-check the age-appropriateness on these, but I'd think Akata Witch by Nnedi Okorafor (Leopard people mythology of Nigeria) and The Jewel and her Lapidary (more fantasy) would be great now and the Genie Lo books by F.C. Yee (Chinese mythology) and Rebel of the Sands by Alwyn Hamilton (fantasy world analagous to Arabia) in a few years. All have strong female protagonists. I found some of these authors from A Tyranny of Petticoats and The Radical Element - short story collections, some of which are probably age-appropriate, and all of which are awesome!(less)
