I don't think you understand how excited I am for this book to be in school libraries and children's bookstores because it is going to change the lives of so many Indian kids out there and they are going to get the representation that people my age never got. The only memory I have of seeing an Indian character in a book is when I checked out one book from the library, that wasn't even a mainstream novel, and that's the only novel I can remember being represented in during elementary and middle school. Growing up, I never got to see books that had characters that were like me in books or TV shows or movies or any other form of media. I'm going to start this review by pleading with you to support this novel in any way possible.
In all honesty, the only reason I was planning to read this novel was because of the Indian rep, but there is so much more to the perfection that is this novel. The Serpent's Secret is a middle-grade novel about Kiranmala, a 12-year old living her regular life in New Jersey until her parents go missing and she finds out she's a real Indian princess.
This is no way impacts my review of the novel. Disclaimer: I received an ARC of this novel in exchange for an honest review.
