The Aru Shaw and the End of Time is the first in the series by Roshani Chokshi published by Rick Riordan in his mythological fiction series. I recommend the whole series. Aru Shah and the End of Time is an amazing book about magic and mythology. In it, Aru finds that the Indian gods are real and she is the daughter of one of them. Join Aru as she adventures to stop the evil Sleeper, who controls time.
A particularly good book has a way of opening new spaces in one's mind. It even invited you to come back later and rummage through what you'd learn.
