BLUE-SKINNED GODS,

BY SJ SINDU

A coming-of-age story about faith, identity, and family, Sindu’s book follows a boy from Tamil Nadu, India, who is born with blue skin and believed to be the Hindu god Vishnu incarnate. But as he grows older and starts to question his divinity, he sets out on a quest that takes him to the underbelly of New York City’s rock scene to discover who he truly is, outside of what the world expects him to be. “I hope the book helps readers question their own beliefs and values, because when we believe in something, we give power to it,” explains Sindu.
