The Hidden Children
The Hidden Children: The Lost Grimoire | Reshma K. Barshikar
2 posts | 1 read
‘What price would you pay to be extraordinary? What would you do to speak to a butterfly?'
Shayamukthy cruises through life: shooting hoops, daydreaming and listening to her favourite books. Even moving from the US to India, to a new school, a new culture, hasn't really rattled her. But something isn't right anymore and it begins when a New Girl joins the school.
She pulls Shui into a world of magic and wonderment, a world she has been hidden from all her life. What starts as a quest to look for a lost book, hurtles Shui into a world where people live in trees, talk to the dead and speak to butterflies.
But like all power, magic comes at a steep price and under all things wondrous lie demons waiting to crawl out. The more Shui learns, the more she doubts everything and everyone around her.
Will she be able to master her powers, or will they devour her and everyone she loves?

"The only thing worse than being ordinary is to be mediocre, to live in the grey periphery of life, looking in, wondering what could have been if you had just stretched yourself to find greatness."

First off, I loved the cover of this book. It is just so pretty.🙈

Secondly, the story is mind-blowing. This is the story of Shui and how things in her life finally make sense when Anya arrives. (Or do they really fall apart?) With Anya in her life, things are different now. Shui is unlike any other teenager in her class. She is tall and lanky. She has dyslexia and cannot read properly. And now Anya explains why.
It's amazing. Definitely #rec.
