'Has everything I like: humour, action, great characters      and awesome mythology!' Rick Riordan, bestselling author of Percy      Jackson       'A new star is born.' Eoin Colfer, bestselling author      of Artemis Fowl      The first book in an exciting AND funny adventure series.         Twelve-year-old Aru Shah has a tendency to stretch the truth in      order to fit in at school.         Whilst her classmates are jetting off to exotic locales, she'll      be at home, in the Museum of Ancient Indian Art and Culture where      her mother works.         Is it any wonder that Aru makes up stories about being royalty,      traveling to Paris, and having a chauffeur?      When Aru's schoolmates dare her to prove that the museum's Lamp      of Bharata is cursed, she doesn't think there's any harm in lighting      it. Little does Aru know that 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, accompanied      by a wise-cracking pigeon and her long-lost half-sister,      it's up to Aru to save them.               Pacy, page-turning storytelling      charming, funny writing      relatable characters to root for      a diverse, original feel to the set-up - drawing inspiration      from Hindu gods            ?
