THE SAVAGE FORTRESS, by Sarwat Chadda


The story: When Ash Mistry went to visit family in India, he never dreamed that the demons and ghosts of ancient Indian mythology could possibly be real. He never dreamed that he could have a personal connection to the great Indian warrior Rama--or that the connection would extend to the most evil creature of all time: the demon king, Ravana. But just because you don't know something doesn't mean it can't hurt you…

June Cleaver's ratings: Language PG; Nudity G; Sexual content PG; Violence PG-13; Magic and the occult PG-13; substance abuse PG; GLBT content G; adult themes (kidnapping, demonic possession) PG-13; overall rating PG-13.

Liz's comments: Hand this one to the boy who's boo-hooing about having finished all of Rick Riordan's books. This one has the advantage of being shorter than the "Heroes of Olympus" and "Kane Chronicles" series, in addition to being just as action-packed and exciting. Plus, it introduces a new mythology for those who pretty much have the Greek and Roman gods down pat. A warning, though: if you're opposed to stories about black magic and demons, don't pick this one up.
