Rick Riordan Presents: Aru Shah and the End of Time-Graphic Novel, The

PRAISE FOR ARU SHAH AND THE END OF TIME

**ONE OF TIME MAGAZINE’S “100 BEST FANTASY BOOKS OF ALL TIME.”**

**NEW YORK TIMES BEST-SELLING SERIES!**


“An imaginative novel that puts girl power and diverse protagonists front and center.”
—Entertainment Weekly

“[An] engrossing adventure tale.”
—Teen Vogue

“This roller coaster through Hindu culture never feels forced or pedantic, but instead like a new kind of myth—where a hero takes a hammer to the world to shine a light through its cracks.”
New York Times Book Review

"This adventure will make your head explode in the best way possible."
—Rick Riordan, New York Times #1 best-selling author of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series

“Hilarious and brilliant-full of wit, warmth, and wonder. Aru Shah is a clever, believable heroine who deserves her place with all the great heroes of legend. I’m so happy this book exists-and that there are still more to come!”
—Shannon Messenger New York Times best-selling author of the Keeper of the Lost series

“Warning! This book contains mind-bending myths, dreadful demons, and more swashbuckling high adventure that can possibly be good for you. Oh, and one of the sassiest heroines ever to walk into an elephant’s mouth. I loved it. I think you will too.”
—Jonathan Stroud, New York Times best-selling author of the Lockwood & Co series

“A new star is born. Aru Shah and the End of Time is mind-bending and brilliant. Original and spellbinding, the story sparkles with wit and magic. Fantasy has never been so much fun.”
—Eoin Colfer, New York Times best-selling author of the blockbuster Artemis Fowl series

“Roshani Chokshi has done a brilliant job of capturing the essence of what makes Indian mythology unique, and you’re in for an awesome ride. I cannot wait to find out where she’ll lead us next.”
—Sarwat Chadda, New York Times best-selling author

★"Chokshi spins a fantastical narrative that seamlessly intertwines Hindu cosmology and folklore, feminism, and witty dialogue for an uproarious novel for young readers."
Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

★"This series kick-off . . . also the first book from the Rick Riordan Presents imprint, expertly channels the humor and action that have made Riordan's own work so successful. Aru commands the spotlight . . . and Chokshi weaves an engrossing adventure that will leave readers anticipating the next installment."
Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Just as "Percy Jackson" led tweens to a deeper exploration and appreciation of classic Greek mythology, Chokshi's tale will likely inspire a similar demand for traditional Indian mythology. An enthralling start to a series that Riordan fans and anyone in the mood for a high-octane adventure will love."
School Library Journal
