Summary
Aarti has lived on the island with Aunt for as long as she can remember。
Like the weather， Aunt rules her world with rare warmth。 Aarti's only comforts are a book of Indian myths full of blue gods， a fox's friendship， and a toy rabbit she finds in a locked room。
Then， she learns Aunt has been feeding her lies。 Fate intervenes when a half-drowned boy washes up on the beach。 With his help， Aarti hopes to remember who she really is 。。。 and perhaps find a way home。

You can read my full review here。Tamarind & the star was one of my favourite middle grade reads of 2020。 I’ve been eagerly awaiting Jasbinder Bilan’s next book ever since finishing， so picked up Aarti & the Blue Gods， as soon as I had chance。 Although the two books are completely different in almost every way， Aarti easily finds herself holding up to Tamarind， both extremely tenacious girls， determined in their own ways。 The setting was just beautiful， wild， filled with wonder and utterly ruthle You can read my full review here。Tamarind & the star was one of my favourite middle grade reads of 2020。 I’ve been eagerly awaiting Jasbinder Bilan’s next book ever since finishing， so picked up Aarti & the Blue Gods， as soon as I had chance。 Although the two books are completely different in almost every way， Aarti easily finds herself holding up to Tamarind， both extremely tenacious girls， determined in their own ways。 The setting was just beautiful， wild， filled with wonder and utterly ruthless。 The way Aarti had connected with the nature all around her， was easily my favourite part of the book。Aarti herself was exactly the kind of character I want my son reading about。 A young girl who was resourceful， intelligent， brave and with an incredibly kind heart， despite her lot in life。 Her search for the truth was relatable， anyone would want to know how they had ended up living away from civilisation with only their bipolar ‘aunt’ for company。 Aunt herself is probably the most intriguing character when reading as an adult， I had so many questions about her。 I loved that there were a few moments where the subtext of her background could be picked up for older readers， without distracted younger readers with details that they possibly might not understand。The end was just beautiful， no spoilers here， but I’m not ashamed to say it certainly brought a little tear to my eye。 Jasbinder has such a lovely writing style， and has created yet another story full of wonder。 The book and its characters will undeniably stay with me for a good long while。 Now all that’s left for me to do is track down some ‘tablet’！！ 。。。more
