Wendy was almost killed by whom she thought to be her mother when she was six years old. Eleven years later, she became drawn to a boy that always seemed to be watching her. Not after long from meeting him, he tells her the truth. She is a Princess from another world with powers that she cannot even begin to imagine. She leaves the family that she once knew and is thrust into another world, filled with magic and a Kingdom, that she is told she will one day rule over. This story changes everything I was taught as a child about Trolls, and the world that exists with them living in it. This book was a page turner that I could not put down, filled with romance, magic, and battle.

Shalini and her family are found moving from their homeland of India to America. She found herself lost and scared and somewhat shunned from her fellow High School classmates, while her sister finds a way to fit in and make friends easily. Her mother, did not approve of the move her husband forced her into and spent most of her time depressed and the family left terrified that she would never be herself ever again. Shalini, found herself making friends in the end and falling for a boy that reminded her of the God that she prays to, Krishna. But, her fiance, whom she had been engaged to since the age of 3, throws a surprise visit on her. This was a sad, but happy read that taught me about India and their way of life.
