Meet Kiranmala: interdimensional demon slayer (only she doesn't know it yet): On the morning of her 12th birthday, Kiranmala is just a regular sixth grader living in Parsippany, New Jersey...until her parents mysteriously vanish and a drooling rakkhosh demon slams through her kitchen, determined to eat her alive. Turns out there might be some truth to her parents' fantastical stories - like how Kiranmala comes from a secret place not of this world. Plus, two crush-worthy princes ring her doorbell, insisting they've come to rescue her.

Kiranmala glaubt nicht an Geschichten über Prinzessinnen und eine Welt voller Magie wie ihre Eltern. Bis Ma und Baba an Kirans 12. Geburtstag plötzlich weg sind. Und im Vorgarten ein Rakkhosh steht, ein sabbernder, hungriger Dämon. Als wäre das nicht genug, klopfen auch noch zwei Prinzen an Kirans Tür, die sie unbedingt retten wollen. Zu dritt machen sie sich auf die Reise in eine andere Dimension, um zwischen geflügelten Pferden und sprechenden Vögeln Kirans Eltern zu befreien. Denn Kiran ist eine Prinzessin - und es gibt Magie!

There weren't many women who tried to become doctors when Virginia Apgar went to medical school - but she didn't let that stop her. After a professor discouraged her from becoming a surgeon, she became an anesthesiologist instead and created the famous Apgar test to check the health of newborn babies. It's a test that's still used in hospitals across the world today!
