Lucky Costasaurus and the Golden-Winged Vultures Kindle Edition

by Nomita Khanna (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars 12 ratings
See all formats and editions
Welcome to Fisherman's Cove in Goa. Costasaurus, the dinosaur has no idea if he is the only dinosaur in the world or if his wings are magical or plain creepy or if a pair of vultures are stalking him or it's just his imagination. From the strange way he falls—from Goa into ancient 100 B.C. Egypt—to getting morphed into a sparrow by a witch, and coming face-to-face with the Giantess from a classic fairy-tale, the dinosaur finds himself in one magic adventure ride after another in this modern fairy-tale. The human children; the serial cartwheel spinner Peter, and his spunky sister Eva are the dinosaur's co-passengers in these fantasy rides.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Fascinating juxtaposition of the human world and an animal world that interacts with it; a world that blends history and mythology. I have to tell you, the children's publishing world is looking for a new saga built around animal fantasy; since the Brian Jacques REDWALL books, there really hasn't been a comparable world. It strikes me that your book could be that..." - Doug Whiteman, The Whiteman Agency in New York

"Strong cast of characters." - Harold Underdown, author of 'The Complete Guide to Publishing Children's Books.'

"Intriguing, and quite fun."- Thehushhushdiary.com

"The story has broad commercial appeal; gives a good sense of the places in it." - Mark Malatesta, a coach for authors
"You must let me see the images when they are done that you have commissioned, sounds like an interesting project." - Jim Kay, illustrator for HARRY POTTER

About the Author

Award-winning author Nomita Khanna has debated on stage to win trophies, held creative writing workshops, splashed oil-paint on canvas, crocheted caps and mittens for toddlers, and written stories for Femina, a leading magazine in India. She makes her home in India with her family, a sizeable collection of books, and a growing number of unfinished puzzle boards. She is the author, most recently, of 'Lucky Costasaurus and the Golden-Winged Vultures' a book for young readers aged 12+. The protagonist in this debut novel is vulnerable, yet mostly resilient unlike Nomita who is terrified of many things big and small, including but not limited to small talk, public toilets, parking lots, and strangely; barbers. When she isn't writing, she's probably playing the keyboard, watching Grace & Frankie on Netflix, or cooking up a storm in the kitchen.

Set in Goa, with magic and fantasy elements in it, this book is inventive and entertaining. The adventure rides dotted with humor and intrigue whizz along & by the end of it, the reader is totally immersed in Lucky the dinosaur’s world. A must-buy book.
