Once again, a funny action-packed adventurous story. Perfect for when you wanna sit back and enjoy the super funny ride and the lovely dynamic of these kiddos and learn about Hindu mythology (as related and understood by the author) at the same time. I love that in-between the adventure shenanigans, there are moments to weave in serious feelings and topics the characters are having or going through which deepens their connection, and little readers can learn with and/or related to. It's an adorable second installment to an encompassing, hilarious fantasy adventure. I'm a fan!
