About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their child is beginning to question where they fit in between two different worlds, whether those are different cultures, family expectations, or social circles. This concluding chapter of the Kiranmala and the Kingdom Beyond series follows a brave New Jersey girl who must embrace her heritage to save her friends and confront her villainous father, the Serpent King. It explores the heavy lifting of identity formation through a lens of high stakes fantasy and humor. The story beautifully balances the gravity of a world-ending prophecy with the relatable snark of a middle schooler. While it deals with complex themes like the thin line between good and evil and the burden of family legacy, it remains firmly rooted in an empowering message. It is perfect for kids aged 8 to 12 who enjoy fast paced adventures and need to see that their perceived weaknesses or 'differences' are actually their greatest superpowers.
