So she's furious when Theo, her grumpy older brother, gets his own room instead, and her wild baby brother, Max, moves into the room she already shares with her clinging sister Pearl! Avery hatches a plan to finally get her own room, all while trying to get Max to sleep at night, navigating changes in her friendships, and working on an art entry for the fair. And when Avery finds out that her family might move across the country, things get even more complicated.

Book Description
‘War is my creed, my anchor and my strength’ It is the thirteenth day of the Kurukshetra War. The Kauravas and the Pandavas have reached a stalemate, even though the former has the mightier army. The frustrated Kauravas finally decide to deploy a deadly strategy known as the Chakravyuh—a battle formation that is seemingly impossible to break. When Krishna and Arjuna, the only two people who know the secret to penetrating the Chakravyuh, are lured away from the battlefield, it is up to young Abhimanyu, the son of Arjuna, to save the Pandavas from certain defeat. A true Kshatriya, Abhimanyu breaks through the maze and reaches its heart, leaving his soldiers far behind and thus directing the Kaurava onslaught entirely towards himself. Full of breakneck action and high drama, this stunningly illustrated graphic novel tells the story of one of the greatest heroes from the Mahabharata, who single-handedly turned the tide of the ultimate war between dharma and adharma.
