The Serpent’s Secret
Author: Sayantani DasGupta
Publisher: Scholastic Press
Date of Publication: February 2018
“We go now to that dark and terrible origin place where all spells meet their end. (Oh, and make sure to take your gummy vitamins every morning.)” The first in a series, The Serpent’s Secret is a fantastical adventure based on bits and pieces of multiple Hindu tales. Told from the perspective of a 12 year old Indian girl, this story is about her as she realizes what her true identity is, and the journey she takes to prove herself and unite her family once more. It is equal parts humor, danger, and inter-dimensional confusion. Think Rick Riordan with a Hindu twist. I would recommend this book to any fourth-eighth grade who enjoys plot twists, fun, and fantasy.
