Krátky popis
Aru Shah and the End of Timemeets Studio Ghibli'sSpirited Awayin
this mesmerizing portal fantasy that takes readers into the
little-known world of Jinn. Nura longs for the simple pleasure of
many thingsto wear a beautiful red dupatta or to bite into a sweet
gulab. But with her mom hard at work in a run-down sweatshop and
three younger siblings to feed, Nura must spend her days earning
money by mica mining. But it's not just the extra rupees in her
pocket Nura is after.Local rumor says there's buried treasure in
the mine, and Nura knows that finding it could change the course of
her family's life forever.Her plan backfires when the mines
collapse and four kids, including her best friend, Faisal, are
claimed dead. Nura refuses to believe it and shovels her way
through the dirt hoping to find him. Instead, she finds herself at
the entrance to a strange world of purple skies and pink seasa
portal to the opulent realm of jinn, inhabited by the trickster
creatures from her mother's cautionary tales.Yet they aren't nearly
as treacherous as her mother made them out to be, because Nura is
invited to a luxury jinn hotel, where she's given everything she
could ever imagine and more.But there's a dark truth lurking
beneath all that glitter and gold, and when Nura crosses the
owner's son and is banished to the working quarters, she realizes
she isn't the only human who's ended up in the hotel's clutches.
Faisal and the other missing children are there, too, and if Nura
can't find a way to help them all escape, they'll be bound to work
for the hotel forever. Set in a rural industrial town in Pakistan
and full of hope, heart, and humor,Nura and the Immortal Palace is
inspired by M.T. Khan's own Pakistani Muslim heritage.
