--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.

--Shannon Messenger New York Times best-selling author of the Keeper of the Lost series "Warning!

"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.
