Everyone is thrilled that renowned music conductor Zubair Midha plans on visiting Sea World to hear its famous Oct-estra play. Little do they know that there is a plot underfoot to sabotage the show—a plot devised by the millionaire sponsor of the show, Jai Kalia!
Kalia kidnaps a bunch of octopuses and holds them prisoner on his yacht. What he does not know is that he has got hold of the wrong lot. Rot8 now has to not only rescue his pesky friends from Kalia’s clutches, he also needs to reinstate the reputation of the Oct-estra as the best octopus orchestra!
Read on as Rot8, Tumboo and friends hit the high Cs in yet another hilarious, action-packed adventure!
Most of us would connect an octopus to a tacky, sticky thing with ugly tentacles. But Jyotin Goel and Rajiv Eipe has proved that imaginations have no limit. Like a cute Winnie the Pooh, Lovely Peppa pig, we have own Rot8 from India. The uniqueness in coining the names itself is the uniqueness of the book. Rot8, Irit8 etc would force the kids to relate the names to the words that sound similar. It is a good brain and vocabulary exercise for kids.
Everyone in the sea world is waiting to see the famous Zubair Midha, who comes to see Oct-Extra play. While they are sweating blood, there is devious plan by Jai Kalia to sabotage the show by abducting the octopuses. Rot8, with his friends set out to escape and bring their orchestra back to glory.
The book is a perfect one for the kids who have started reading. The brilliant illustrations by Rajiv Eipe adds to the appeal of the book. I read this book to my pre schooler and I made by six year old daughter read the book. What was common among both was that they liked the octopus world and the deep blue sea equally. They were continuously inquisitve about what is going to happen next and moreover they connected quite well with the characters. The book has all the possibilities to be adopted into an animated movie.
Verdict The book is a perfect gift to kids who love stories.
