Author Deepak Dalal’s new books for young readers put the spotlight on conservation

Author Deepak Dalal’s two new books, one set in Lakshadweep Islands and the other on Snow Leopard Adventure in the Himalayas, create a connection between young readers and wildlife, and eventually conservation

Deepak Dalal loves the sea and is fascinated by coral islands. “My knowledge is a result of the hours I have spent scuba diving and snorkelling,” he says. In his new book, Lakshadweep Adventure (Penguin) Deepak has recreated the mysterious world of coral reefs in a tale of adventure replete with scuba diving, sharks, windsurfing, sea turtles and sabotage set in the beautiful Lakshadweep Islands. The book is a part of his series following the adventures of schoolmates Vikram and Aditya who share a love for Nature and the great outdoors. There have been five books so far, including the latest Snow Leopard Adventure (Penguin) where the boys join a team of ecologists in search of the elusive snow leopard in the Himalayas. The previous titles in the series include Ranthambore Adventure, Andaman Adventure and Ladakh Adventure
