Lucky Costasaurus and the Golden-Winged Vultures
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.

If you haven't introduced your child or yourself to the Lucky Costasaurus yet, you should right now!
I may have a weak spot when it comes to Children's Books because I had so many growing up when I was first learning to read.
It is the really fun and cute adventure story of the dinosaur, who is trying to earn his place in the world, and the human child Thomas names him Lucky. Thomas is brave and somewhat impulsive, and together with Dinosaur, they make good team. The book is wonderfully illustrated and is the perfect length for reading to a toddler or pre-schooler or even an older child.
What's so great about this books is that it combines adventure with learning about so many different things ... history, other cultures, geography, animals, and so on.
I also like how the author breaks down the sentences into smaller parts at times to help with comprehension.

What a cute, fun book! I fell in love with it after reading the description. I got this book based on the Cover and title--so vivid and adventurous.
This book is very cute. I would have to say that children enjoy this book far more than I, but I do like it.
The pictures are really great and I enjoy the writing throughout the book. I would be interested in seeing what other books this author has out there.

Imagine being at a theme park with a bunch of people who love you, be that family or friends, with the sun grinning from above and the wind blowing through your hair. There's laughter everywhere, and people hugging and drinking raspberry smoothies. Everything's alive and happy and radiant. I think that's the feeling you get when reading this book, - like a warm hug from a person you've missed,
from your younger self, from your childhood self.
As if you're bathing in sunlight, and memories and happiness.
What a wonderful childrens/junior book. Keeps the reader involved in the story throughout.
The world is so very interesting as are the characters that inhabit in this world created by Nomita Khanna.

Oh, I loved this book! Having just finished it, I am in love with Author Nomita Khanna's writing, her world, and the people in it.
First, there is the writing. I was tempted at several points to come here and leave a review of just the writing itself -- it was giving me so much pleasure. There's a lightness to it, a drollness, a quirkiness -- not a hackneyed phrase or idea anywhere, it's utterly refreshing. But it's also beautifully simple and precise. It's a sensory pleasure in its own right, like listening to a wonderful musical performance, or eating a perfect peach.
Then there's the world created by Nomita Khanna, and the characters that inhabit it. Once again, it is utterly fresh, and every aspect just keeps unfolding as the book progresses -- every story thread, every cultural trait, and especially every character keeps developing. Every bit of this unfolding rings perfectly true, it's just that nothing in this book is a simple cartoon -- everything has life, and verisimilitude. Its like a box of very good assorted chocolates -- every piece is different, and every flavor and texture is a little masterpiece in itself.
Then there's what I can only call the author's heart. Reading this book -- which, in its distinctive way, is swashbuckling, thrilling, adventurous, funny, and utterly absorbing -- nourished my better self. Here's someone for whom the true and the good are a reliable compass, who shows compassion to every little character because she sees them true and in all their complexity, and who wants the best for all of them, whether it's possible or not. I felt better about my own world after spending time in the one Nomita Khanna created.

I really like this book (my brother actually recommended this to me) because it has some of my favorite genres on it, it has fantasy, and adventure which I like the most on books.
I recommend this book to the people who really likes fantasy and adventure books.
If you know a kid who hates reading or lacks imagination, give them this book and tell them "to give it a chance, if they don't like it then I will stop recommending books to you and let you decide."

Fantasy, particularly dragon (here Dinosaur) focused, is my personal favorite genre.
This was a great book with so many creative plot twists that I did not ever feel like I was reading a Children book
Readers of fantasy who have not yet read this one should correct that as quickly as possible.

Lucky Costasaurus is a dinosaur who was left outside a house in a Goan village, by a cat, as an egg. He belongs to an extinct species and has mismatching colored wings. He feels unwanted and alone and unusual. Even though he is adopted by the very loving Thomas and has lovely friends Peter and Eva, he is discontent. He wants to belong and to know about his parents. This book is his journey as he tries to find out about his roots and his purpose in life. This journey is made more adventures because he is of interest to a pair of evil golden-winged Garudas who watch over him forever.
It was a lovely experience reading this book. The best part is the characterization. Lucky is this youth who is dealing with self-doubts and societal aloofness but is brave and loves his friends. I loved Eva the best. She is fearless, adventurous, outspoken, but a little self-centered and possessive. Peter is a love-struck adolescent. All the other characters, be it the powerful witch Kika, his evil brother Kuber, or the animals, are given a voice. They are complex, diverse, lovable, and equally represented.
I loved the storyline too. There are small, interesting events that lead up to the main thing and each has its own elements of thrill and learning. Using adventure and action to drive a point has been used forever in children’s stories. This book has used all those elements very nicely. Nomita has also very subtly tried to point out things that are wrong with our society from animal killing to inequality to over-judgemental natures. The story is set in a world where animals can speak and have jobs. Whether they have freedom of speech or equal job opportunities, is a different matter altogether.
Nomita has provided a dual perspective in the story. The golden-winged garudas are an endangered species. They are shown to do what is needed for their survival, though at the cost of another. There are people who share these views while others abhor them. I loved that people are given a chance to see both sides.
One thing I feel that could have improved my experience with this book is the writing style. It could use a little more context while switching scenes or narrators. A little concise and it would be good to go. With a lot of characters, it took me some time to get into the story. But once I got to know them and love them, it flowed nicely.
I think it is a very nice book for growing kids. There are situations they may find similar and relatable. I also found it thought-provoking at various levels. I would recommend it for them and for adults who love to read an adventurous tale every once in a while.

💎Lucky Costasaurus And The Golden-Winged Vultures By Nomita Khanna💎
💎Category: Children's book
.
Plot: Lucky finds himself in a ramshackle cottage on Mangrove Lane as the son of the humans, the Costas.The troubles that befall Lucky, take him from the fishing village in Goa to the witch Kika’s house in the jungle; to 100 B.C. Egypt, and from the icy peaks of the North Pole to the barren desert of Kutch. The human children; the serial cartwheel spinner Peter, and his fearless karate-nerd sister Eva are Lucky’s co-passengers in his magical adventure rides.
.
My Opinion: When it comes to children's book I never let them go, they are marvellous. I have picked this book from 2 to 3 days I guess but it's very intriguing. Yes, the book is bit lengthy & I too took a while to complete it. It is a 4-5 read but I will suggest you to read with fun & patience & this is how you will enjoy it more. The story is about a dinosaur- Lucky & luckily he is the only dinosaur in the world. The book unravels his journey right from the egg & he is quickly accepted by his villagers but unfortunately he think there is someone cruel trying to harm him & his villagers. This make him go on an adventure to find out the truth with his buddies Peter & Eva, including them all the other characters are very well built & I can say it's the best children's book I had read in a while. The cover is fantastic as well.
.
Pros: Language is really easy & interesting. Characterisation is well done, not only children but even adults can give it a try. It was fun reading the entire book, there were few wow moments in the book. The book gives a value based moral to follow your heart & dreams which is just amazing. The book was unpredictable. I highly recommend it.
Cons: The book has illustrations which I liked but they were not up to the mark, I wish the author will take care the next time. But, yes it's an amazing book.

I am dumbfounded.
This book has reminded me why my not-so-young teen anymore self hasn't given up on it. This book made me realize just how much I love children fiction, and books in general.
Where do I begin? The beautiful writing? The exquisite food descriptions? The worldbuilding that completely swept me away, into a new world? The beautifully realized, complex characters? The pacing, which was breakneck from the beginning?
As I stated before, I loved this book. Probably everything about it. I am shamelessly fangirling and I am so HAPPY.

What the book lacks in print, paper and font size- It makes up in abundance of cheeriness and love. And who says children books aren't for adults?
Withholding spoilers, let me give you a crack at Lucky, the lone dinosaur left on Earth, who is riddled with three supreme questions - First, is he the only dinosaur in the world? Well, he is Lucky for one, other reasons isv why you need to read this book.
Second, are his peculiar wings a cruel trick of nature or its miracle? - I loved finding the answer to this question. I could compare my adulthood with a catchy children's ramble.
Third, is a pair of toxic-looking vultures stalking him or is it his imagination? - Oh! The vultures. Heralding the end or pschying out of curiosity of a Dino's mind?
GIFT THIS BOOK NOW TO THE KIDDIES is what I felt. Nobody should miss out on a fun story! And amidst the heavy reading, this book offers respite.
If you are a beginner, read it more so.

Lucky costasaurus and the golden winged vultures is a fantasy book that I read recently.
I absolutely loved reading this book for multiple reasons!
Firstly the concept around which it revolves is very unique and is executed very well.
The writing style was excellent, I haven't come across an author who has such an amazing writing style since long.
The author has made a really good use of vocabulary in this book, so if a growing child reads this books his vocabulary is definitely gonna get a good & effective update.
The narration too was done quite well. She narrates the story amazing which keeps the reader engaged in reading this book.
The storyline was beautiful,captivating and an innovative.
At times a few scenes a over dragged .
The author has boldly & successfully experimented with her plot, by adding in a mix of the fantasy, mystery,children's and the historical genre. With the continuous and unexpected twists and turns that keep coming, a reader is surely hooked to the story.
The character development was good. I could connect with the protagonist very well. Eva definitely has my heart!
I loved the way the author has portrayed the struggles and the hidden battles that every character is fighting, in order to find the answers to their questions and develop a personality and identity of their own.
Which is another point why this book needs to be read by teenagers and growing kids.
The cover and the title are appropriately chosen keeping in mind the interest and curiosity of a reader.
Overall, this was a very interesting, Action packed- adventurous and a fantastic read. Definitely recommended if you're looking for a book with a truly fresh concept, that offers a lot more just apart from the story!
MY RATING: 4/5🌟

My Opinion: This Book Is Just Fantastic And The Plot Is Just Lit!!To Be Honest It's Not Completely Children's Book, U Can Pick This To Take A Break From Long Reading,It Took Me A While To Complete It Because It's Lengthy But It's Completely Worth It.
.
The Plot Is Fantastic And The Language Used Is Easily Understandable And The Illustrations Were So Good :O

“And now this dinosaur; a survivor from the Jurassic Park?”
Utterly fascinating !
Nomita Khanna's "Lucky Costasaurus and the Golden-Winged Vultures" is one fantastic book with descriptions so vivid and vibrant that you'll be awestruck by the way your imagination grows wings !
This is a tale set in a fishing village of Goa where a witch named Kika, contrary to the wide-spread belief of witches being evil, with her magic bestowed upon the animals the ability to talk, work and fend for themselves and be a part of the human civilization ! She also helped the other worldly creatures to be a part of this civilization too ! Things start getting even more exciting when a dinosaur takes birth in the village. What's even more unusual than the dinosaur himself is his coloured wings ! We all definitely know what comes with being different, the price is unfathomable. What will be the fate of Lucky Costasaurus, the dinosaur in this fishing village of Goa ? Will he be loved by his foster family and the village or will he be subjected to hurdles and challenges ?
This is one amazingly adventurous tale filled with fantasy ! The characters are so lovely, lively and realistic ! Isn't it like a dream come true where humans and animals will live together in harmony, understand each other's feelings without encroaching upon each other's habitat ! This is a children's book but I'm sure adults will enjoy it too. The message delivered through this book is so precious. Although I think the language might be bit difficult for the target age group. Plus, had there been more pictures and had the pictures been as vibrant as the story itself, it'd have been even more amusing.
Overall, I enjoyed this book !

I can never say no to children's books :P . This book is full of adventures which I absolutely loved reading. Being an adult takes a toll on me, so in order to bring out the child in me, I end up reading Children's fiction. Lucky Costasauras was one of them. The story follows the journey of Lucky, a dinosaur who took an adventurous ride to get rid of the troubles surrounding his village.
Crankshaft, a cat brought a huge egg, which intrigued the interest of Thomas. Thomas- an animal lover decided to keep the egg and take care of the being living inside it. After a few months of waiting, the egg cracked and out came a dinosaur. Thomas adopted him and named him Lucky. Every animal and human living in the neighborhood were curious to see him, since dinosaurs were extinct animals and the coming of a dinosaur made way for many theories. Lucky was readily accepted by everyone in the village but he felt that someone was stalking him and harming his loved ones. Therefore, Lucky went on an adventurous ride with his friends Peter and Eva in order to struggle through all his troubles and find out the answers to his questions.
Will Lucky be able to protect his loved ones? Will he be able to find his true parents? Who was stalking him and what was their purpose?
Read the book in order to know all the answers and enjoy the ride with Lucky.
I really enjoyed reading the book. The author described everything in detail and I was able to imagine each and every thing so vividly. The characters are very well developed but too many characters made it a bit confusing for me. Her work is written in such a good way with simplicity and clarity. The narration is smooth and the book is well paced. The language written is easy and understandable. This novel is full of fantasy elements and suspense and you won't be able to put down the book without finishing it. A perfect read for children and teens as well.
Also I liked the fact that the author tried to convey important message through her book that : 1. One's struggles develop their strengths. 2. The wings of transformation are born of patience and struggle. 3. Spread your wings and fly.
Highly recommended to all the teens and children out there.
