Clever Prince Veera and his best friend, Suku, are back in a vibrant new collection of stories riddled with surprises. When the prince's great uncle, Raja Apoorva, invites the boys to the summer festival in Peetalpur, Prince Veera and Suku are excited to compete in the games. It's no easy feat to make the peahen sing (when peahens can't sing) or defeat the country's champion wrestler, but Raja Apoorva's riddles prove the ultimate test of the boys' wit and wisdom. Who owns the tree that provides the palace figs? What intruder dared pull the Raja's beard? And what are the secrets of the holy man and the astronomer? Packed with glorious trickster tradition and wise-cracking dialogue, these festive tales of two fast-thinking friends will captivate listeners of all ages.

      Deepti Gupta's warm, expressive voice lends authenticity to this third volume of lively trickster stories inspired by traditional Indian folktales. As in MANGOES, MISCHIEF, AND TALES OF FRIENDSHIP, these new adventures feature the two young protagonists Prince Veera and his best friend, Suku. This time, while on a visit to the Prince's great-uncle during the summer festival, the pair are challenged to solve mysteries and find clever answers to the tricky puzzles they love. Gupta's enhancement of the narrative comes through in the individual characters' voices; she is especially engaging in her delivery of the boys' youthful enthusiasm and boisterous humor. Essential truths about good versus evil and right versus wrong promote acts of fairness, compassion, and honesty in an entertaining and thought-provoking listen.
