So I post a lot about buying my books, but don't think I've listed all of them and what they are about.
Here's a thread of all Karuna Riazi books at the moment 🧵 As a reminder, I am a middle grade author so all of these are middle grade titles!

Comments
✨ Likely first Bangladeshi American protagonist in middle grade
✨ Highly acclaimed, featured in EW x3, translated in several languages (at one point, big in Germany!)
✨ A reverse Jumanji with lots of puzzles and danger

✨ Companion to The Battle, starring prior protagonist Farah's brother Ahmad
✨ Zathura-inspired (keeping up with the Jumanji comp)
✨ The board game has become a video game in this one! Pretty cool!
✨ My most accessible title yet: large print, audiobook, talking book, oh my!
✨ Blurbed by multiple children's luminaries (so honored)
✨ Starred review from School Library Journal ❤️

🌊 A Thousand and One Nights-inspired middle grade portal fantasy!
🌊 My first Black + South Asian heroine (like me!)
🌊 Per my publisher, "a tantalizing tale about fate, choice, and being torn between both"
