Adventure and Mystery

The Jewel of Vishnu by RK Singh

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


One of the things I enjoy most about Author R. K. Singh’s novels that I’ve read is the way he makes the story come alive through descriptions and believable characters. In THE JEWEL OF VISHNU: CHRONICLES OF INDIA’S LOST CONTINENT, Volume One, I can envision the trees, the forests, and the mountains as I travel along with Arul, Keeran, and Navira, three teens as they set off on a mission to stop the lions from invading farms, resulting in the loss of food for families. And that’s not the only problem they have to face.

There is mystery in the novel, too. Who is the man in the hooded cloak that watches the teens? And what is the mystery about Arul’s Amma or mother. No one will tell him. We must not forget Jaya, the wolf, that travels with the teens. He has his role in the story, as well.

R. K. Singh gives us a look at a different way of life, in another country. This novel would make a good addition to middle school and high school libraries, perhaps in a study of history, as well as your own private library. Recommended. Happy Reading.
