She also faces evil serpents (of course!), plus a frightening prophecy about her role in the coming conflict between good and evil. Most troubling of all, though, is the way reality all around her seems to waver and flicker at odd moments.

Book Description
Within the Trimurti, the trinity of supreme Hindu Gods, Brahma is referred to as "The Creator." Brahma formed himself in a golden egg known as Hiranyagarbha, a body or saguna of the otherwise formless or nirguna brahman, the supreme spiritual truth in Vedantic Hinduism. He is usually portrayed as a red or golden complexioned bearded man with four heads and paws, born in a lotus and rising from Vishnu's navel. His four heads, which point to the four cardinal directions, signify the four Vedas.His vahana or mount is a hamsa or swan, and he is sitting on a lotus. Brahma's consort, Goddess Saraswati, and she embodies his creative spirit, or Shakti, as well as the wisdom he possesses.Brahma does not receive widespread worship in modern Hinduism, and he is regarded as less important than the other members of the Trimurti. While Brahma is worshiped in ancient scriptures, he is scarcely worshiped in India as a primary deity. In India, there are only a few temples dedicated to him, the most prominent of which is the Brahma Temple in Pushkar, Rajasthan. Outside of India, Brahma temples can be in places like Bangkok's Erawan Shrine. This is a short reference to Lord Brahma and Goddess Sarawati's myths and theology.

How are teenagers' religious experiences shown in today's young adult literature? How do authors use religious texts and beliefs to add depth to characters, settings and plots? How does YA fiction place itself in the larger conversation regarding religion? Modern YA fiction does not shy away from the dilemmas and anxieties teenagers face today. While many stories end with the protagonist in a state of flux if not despair, some authors choose redemption or reconciliation. This collection of new essays explores these issues and more, with a focus on stories in which characters respond to a new (often shifting) religious landscape, in both realistic and fantastic worlds.
