The Savage Fortress / Sarwat Chadda / 292 pgs.


Ash and his little sister Lucky Mistry are in India visiting their Uncle who is an archaeologist and working on a dig for a very Eccentric and Mysterious Benefactor.  After an accident occurs at the archaeological site, Ash is thrown into a supernatural world of demons (called rakshasas) and  is in a fight of good vs evil and the fate of the world.

This book reminded me a lot of Rick Riordan's "Percy Jackson" Series; except substitute the Greek Gods for Hindu ones.  Lots of action, some violence; although I'm pretty sure kids will get a kick out of the description of the hero pulling a demon's heart out of its chest and crushing it with their bare hands.  :)
