    About this audiobook

    A new middle-grade fantasy series packed with action and adventure, perfect for fans of Rick Riordan and Soman Chainani.

    Meet Kiranmala: interdimensional demon slayer (only she doesn't know it yet).

    On the morning of her 12th birthday, Kiranmala is just a regular sixth grader living in Parsippany, New Jersey...until her parents mysteriously vanish and a drooling rakkhosh demon slams through her kitchen, determined to eat her alive. Turns out there might be some truth to her parents' fantastical stories - like how Kiranmala is a real Indian princess and how she comes from a secret place not of this world.

    To complicate matters, two crush-worthy princes ring her doorbell, insisting they've come to rescue her. Suddenly, Kiran is swept into another dimension full of magic, winged horses, moving maps, and annoying talking birds. There she must solve riddles and battle demons all while avoiding the Serpent King of the underworld and the Rakkhoshi Queen in order to find her parents and basically save New Jersey, her entire world, and everything beyond it....

    Editor's Note

    Action and adventure…

    Inspired by Bengali folktales, Sayantani DasGupta has written an extraordinary series with one of the coolest (and funniest) sixth graders around (who doubles as a demon slayer; no big deal).

      I enjoyed this story quite a lot. It had some good messages in it beyond a fun and interesting story about a girl going on an adventure.

      I loved the messages about light and darkness coexisting and being necessary to have both. Also thought it was awesome about loving and accepting yourself for who you are no matter what.

      I would definitely recommend this. Everyone should check it out ?.

      This one was such an amazing middle grade with wonderful characters, a hilarious action-packed journey, and whimsical yet atmospheric writing style! I'm shocked that I've never had heard of this one before and picked it up on a whim!
