DEVATAR BOOK 2: JEJAK SISIK - The Pangolin's Trail
JEJAK SISIK (Book 2) The Pangolin's Trail
Percy Jackson meets Studio Ghibli — set in the rainforests of Malaysia.
SYNOPSIS
Salim Vikram believes in facts and logic. But when villagers start forgetting their own names, and his own father no longer recognizes him, Salim must accept a truth that science cannot prove.
Together with five friends and an ancient pangolin spirit guardian, Salim follows his grandfather's secret map to a hidden temple — before a villain who can rewrite human memory gets there first.
A FRESH VOICE IN MIDDLE-GRADE FANTASY
While most fantasy novels draw from European or Greek mythology, DEVATAR introduces young readers to the rich, untold legends of Southeast Asia — ancient animal spirits, sacred rainforests, and a magic system rooted in trust and transformation.

IT WAS A VERY NICE BOOK. A BOY FINDS OUT HIS HERITAGE AND IS MOTIVATED TO FOLLOW IT. HE HAS ANCIENT WISDOM AND THE POWER OF PROTECTION. WILL HE HELP HIS FRIENDS AND SAVE THE WORLD OR WILL HE ENDANGER THEM AND GIVE UP TO THE EVIL. IT WAS FANTASTIC TO READ.
