The formerly glorious god Apollo, cast down to earth in punishment by Zeus, is now an awkward mortal teenager named Lester Papadopoulos. In order to regain his place on Mount Olympus, Lester must restore five Oracles that have gone dark. But he has to achieve this impossible task without having any godly powers and while being duty-bound to a confounding young daughter of Demeter named Meg. Thanks a lot, Dad. With the help of some demigod friends, Lester managed to survive his first two trials, one at Camp Half-Blood, and one in Indianapolis, where Meg received the Dark Prophecy.

At the conclusion of The Mark of Athena, Annabeth and Percy tumble into a pit leading straight to the Underworld. The other five demigods have to put aside their grief and follow Percy's instructions to find the mortal side of the Doors of Death. If they can fight their way through the Gaea's forces, and Percy and Annabeth can survive the House of Hades, then the Seven will be able to seal the Doors from both sides and prevent the giants from raising Gaea. But, Leo wonders, if the Doors are sealed, how will Percy and Annabeth be able to escape?

Publisher's Summary
Best-selling author Rick Riordan introduces this adventure by Roshani Chokshi about 12-year-old Aru Shah, who has a tendency to stretch the truth in order to fit in at school.
While her classmates are jetting off to family vacations in exotic locales, she'll be spending her autumn break at home, in the Museum of Ancient Indian Art and Culture, waiting for her mom to return from her latest archeological trip. Is it any wonder that Aru makes up stories about being royalty, traveling to Paris, and having a chauffeur?
One day, three schoolmates show up at Aru's doorstep to catch her in a lie. They don't believe her claim that the museum's Lamp of Bharata is cursed, and they dare Aru to prove it. Just a quick light, Aru thinks. Then she can get herself out of this mess and never ever fib again.
But lighting the lamp has dire consequences. She unwittingly frees the Sleeper, an ancient demon whose duty it is to awaken the God of Destruction. Her classmates and beloved mother are frozen in time, and it's up to Aru to save them.
The only way to stop the demon is to find the reincarnations of the five legendary Pandava brothers, protagonists of the Hindu epic poem, the Mahabharata, and journey through the Kingdom of Death. But how is one girl in Spider-Man pajamas supposed to do all that?
Includes a bonus PDF of the book's glossary.

SIGH & Grumble
I was very excited about the premise of this book. A heroine of Indian ethnicity & Indian Mythology.
However Aru our protagonist is very hard to root for or like or care about.
I listened to this with my kids and we just could not get into the story.
Aru is not fully fleshed out and is unrelatable.
I.just.couldnt.

A wonderful book for strong girls
My girls loved Aru and all her adventures. They loved her personality (sassy) and her bravery. I would recommend this to anyone with daughters looking for vulnerable yet strong girl characters.

JUST PLAIN GENIUS!
She is just plain genius!
Old stories told in different light with a 21st century flair and a modern feministic twist. There's humor when you don't expect it. It's fantasy at its best. And just super fun to read.
I'm buying this book for myself and my nieces as well. I think it's just so powerful to read about every day girls becoming heroes! And if you are Indian, you also get to teach about the religion/culture without the misogynistic parts :D
Thank you so much!

Wonderfully Complex, Rich, Captivating Story
I purchased this book for my 5-year-old daughter because of the review that said it is a good book for strong girls. I'm so glad I did!
What a wonderfully complex, rich, and captivating story that bridges cultures and worlds in the realm of fantasy and reality. There are no good and bad characters - just characters with strengths and weaknesses, who are all at different places in relation to their own evolution.
My 5y listened to this the whole way through and, when it was done, immediately started listening to it again. We turn it on for her and she just goes into her own world, making art, playing, and intently engaging with the story. I cannot interrupt it to say anything to her without pressing pause or she is livid! This story, through the artistry of the novelist and the performance of the storyteller, is alive for her. And I like it, too! I have found myself referring back to tidbits from the story, and sharing them with my husband as personal teachings in ethics and values throughout the week.
Can't wait for the next in this series!!

A joy
I loved this so much. If it is almost the same as Percy Jackson in some ways but wholly original in others. I can’t wait for the other books.
