2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. King Neptune's Delite is well done and a great read! By Tara Ellis King Neptune's Delite is a well-written story with intriguing characters. The plot is so unique, that you certainly can't complain about it being cliche or boring.From the beginning, Reddy describes a world in great detail, including local traditions and way of life that for me, was something completely new. I found this aspect of the story to be the most interesting, and I appreciated how much effort the author put into it.Maya was my favorite character, and for me was very believable. I loved the interactions between her and her brother and friends. I don't usually give a summary in my reviews, because I feel that is for the back-of-the-book and I don't want to give anything away. I would just like to encourage any prospective readers, that your time will certainly NOT be wasted on this story and it is well worth the money. It is well done, and a great read!
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. "The eagerness of a listener quickens the tongue of a narrator." Charlotte Brontë By Grady Harp Indian author Gita V. Reddy brings to her wonderful children’s books a rich background for data gathering: she has a post graduate in Mathematics, has worked in a bank for twenty-six years, is married to a physics professor, has a son doing research in neuro-electronics! Of the many books she has written this new KING NEPTUNE’S DELITE shows a maturity of style and a complexity of characters yet she continues to maintain a fine sense of entertainment and lessons for the reader to learn. She describes her genre as ‘mysteries, adventure, fantasy, science fiction, and even animal tales for children.’Gita remains a teacher as well as a story spinner. At the opening of this book she offers some important background on India: ‘India has 22 official languages and almost 400 living languages. King Neptune’s Delite takes place in Kerala, a southern state of India, where most people speak Malayalam. Three Malayalam words appear in the book: achan, chettan and chechi. achan means father. chettan means elder brother but it is also used after an older man’s name, to show respect. For example, people younger to James will address him as James chettan. It would be rude to call him only by his name-James. chechi means elder sister but like chettan, it is also used after a woman’s name, to show respect.’ This book is meant for an older group of youngsters, ages 9 – 14, and so the information she offers is a valuable educational moment.We absorb the atmosphere in her opening paragraph: ‘Every day, Maya collected seashells, smooth pebbles, and driftwood for Moosa who owned the only curio shop in the village. Her brother Satish and two friends Raju and Jacob also picked the beach along with her. Maya was ten and was the youngest in the group but she was the leader. She watched Moosa while he created ornaments and decorative pieces and learnt what he needed. He paid a higher price for the shells and driftwood she picked. He also accepted whatever pebbles she brought to him. While the other children picked pebbles by shape, size, and color, Maya chose the ones that would look best in fish tanks.’ So on with the story as summarized by the author. ‘Maya finds a bottle with a diamond ring and some papers in it. Along with her brother and friends, she puts together the clues and discovers they have a distress signal from someone held captive on a ship named King Neptune’s Delite. The children are excited by the dazzling find. Even Maya, who is usually more sensible than the others, is swept on the wave of adventure. Instead of going to a grownup, the children embark on a reckless mission, with all possibility of getting into serious trouble.’As always with Gita’s stories she gives a glimpse of Indian rural culture, and shows how a close-knit community takes care of its children. A solid little read. Grady Harp, April 16

An Incredible and Delightful Journey - Best Adventure a Kid Can Read By Lisa's Book Reviews This mysterious and action-packed story begins with Maya, who is ten, Satish, 11, Jacob, 12, and Raju, 12, who are friends and pick seashells, driftwood, and other pebbles from the beach to be made into something to be sold at the local curio shop. Moosa, Satish’s sister, is the owner of the only curio shop in the village. Raju was a little less adventurous than Satish and Jacob; he was more cowardly, though he was not a coward, just less aggressive and more cautious. Maya, although the youngest of the four seemed to always and often be settling their differences and keeping peace among the group of friends. Maya was very interested in collecting items from the beach as she was working on a photo frame, but one day she hoped to open a shop quite the same as Moosa’s. As they were combing the beach for lucky finds, Maya spotted a bottle floating on top of the water. She held it in her hands, calling to her friends. Jacob grabbed the bottle. They discovered there was a ring inside along with a few scraps of paper. As Jacob and Satish grabbed at the ring, it slipped between their fingers and fell down into the water just as a wave rushed in, perhaps taking with it the ring as the wave rolled back out to sea.Maya scooped at the sand between the boys hoping to discover the ring still remained. As the clumps of sand fell away, the ring definitely revealed itself. Next the four of them made sense of the items the bottle contained. They came to the conclusion that it was a distress signal from someone kidnapped and being held against her will as the one piece of paper showed the etched word, help, perhaps made by the edge of the ring. The boys were very determined to assist the mysterious captive and made plans as to what they would do. They all went out in spite of the danger in search for clues and information rather than going to the police as was earlier suggested. What happens next is something best left to the reader as the events as they unfold are better enjoyed if read firsthand. The reader will enjoy King Neptune’s Delite as it is filled with mystery and adventure on every page. Wishing to know to whom the ring belonged and whether she is held captive is an incredible journey taken by the reader’s mind. Raju’s dangerous plight keeps one right at the edge of their seat, pulling the reader to learn this tale’s incredible end. There are three Malayalam words found in this writing. They are achan, chettan, and chechi. The author fully explains their use due to cultural importance. This book gives the reader a slight introduction to Indian culture, though it’s subtle and quite interesting, one young kids will certainly enjoy.
