Aru is only just getting the hang of this whole Pandava thing when the Otherworld goes into full panic mode. The god of love’s bow and arrow has gone missing, and the thief isn’t playing Cupid. Instead, they’re turning people into heartless fighting-machine zombies. If that weren’t bad enough, somehow Aru gets framed as the thief. If she doesn’t find the arrow by the next full moon, she’ll be kicked out of the Otherworld, for good. But, for better or worse, she won’t be going it alone. Along with her soul-sister, Mini, Aru will team up with Brynne, an ultra-strong girl who knows more than she lets on, and Aiden, the boy who lives across the street and is also hiding plenty of secrets. Together they’ll battle demons, travel through a glittering and dangerous serpent realm, and discover that their enemy isn’t at all whom they expected.

“Soneela Nankani shifts smoothly from Hindu mythology to pop-culture references in the second story about a seventh-grade girl who has her feet planted in both worlds, though not always firmly. … Nankani individualizes the four children and a host of fascinating characters of the Otherworld, including a giant blue crab that’s infuriated when he’s associated with Disney characters and a sage whose curses are comical. Nankani gets the balance of humor and adventure exactly right.”— AudioFile
