One beloved character dies in a blinding-light magical way, another is gravely injured but recovers magically. When she returns to the Kingdom Beyond, she learns that the only way to save her friend, Prince Neel, is to compete on the game show Who Wants to Be a Demon Slayer? In the process, she fights big demons and snakes with her arrows. Here, the modern kid is 12-year-old Kiranmala, an Indian girl from another dimension growing up in New Jersey. It thrusts modern kids into the world of mythology and infuses the story with humor. This story will remind you a lot of Rick Riordan's work ( Percy Jackson, Kane Chronicles). Parents need to know that Game of Stars: Kiranmala and the Kingdom Beyond is the second book in a fantasy series featuring a melding of folk tales and folklore from West Bengal, India.
