Nathan Pratyksh Khanna
Nathan is an author, novelist, poet, and a storyteller, best known for his adventure fantasy novel — Jim Ozy & the Perils of Algebra!

Thus began Nathan’s journey as an author.
Nathan Pratyksh Khanna was born in spring 1983 and raised in the Himalayas. A rebellious yet affectionate child, he learned early that questions could be as important as answers. Some of his fondest memories are from his grandmother’s farmhouse, surrounded by orchards of apples, pears, plums, and almonds. He favors the silence of winter, though it is in spring blossoms and autumn’s fading gold that his photography thrives, capturing flowers, forests, rivers, and fleeting wonders. Of all the orchard’s gifts, plums remain his favorite—symbols of comfort, memory, and joy.
At home, Nathan shares life with his childhood sweetheart and wife, Swati, and their son, Irenaeus, raising him in a world of curiosity, laughter, and kindness.
He tells stories not only through words but also through images and design—believing every photograph to be a fragment of philosophy, a verse in an unspoken dialogue with the world. A sports buff who loves heavy metal, manga, and cooking, he finds joy in exploring history, culture, and the stories each person carries.
Encouraged by Parker J. Cole—renowned author, speaker, and radio host whom Nathan affectionately calls Jen—he found the courage to write. To him, Jen is a hero, whose belief in him turned hesitation into a lifelong pursuit. Since then, he has written fiction, fantasy, dark fantasy, children’s stories, and poems that blend humor, wonder, and shadow.
Nathan hopes to be known not only as an author and writer but also as a pet poet—a voice for tenderness, laughter, and truth. One day, he dreams of retiring to a quiet farmhouse in the mountains, sitting beneath the trees with a notebook in one hand and a ripe plum in the other, pondering life’s enduring questions.

After reading the title, I couldn’t really know the genre and it quite increased my curiosity.
As the name suggests, it tells us about the Adventures of an author named Nathan who is set to write a book on Jim Ozy. As we get to know further Jim Ozy seems to be a fearless guy residing in the Mountains.
The book tells us about Nathan’s experiences in Jim’s village along with various adventures of Jim Ozy.
I initially thought the book to be a Thriller but instead it is more of a Fantasy. Though the description is quite elaborate at various instances, it felt as if the book was in bits & pieces and fragmented story pieces have been brought in together to make a book. It might be so because of Jim’s adventures being retold to Nathan, but it certainly hampered the reading experience.
Talking about the cover, it certainly has Importance considering the storyline but at first I felt it very weird, though designed in an amazing way. The length of the book is moderate not making it a drag. Overall an average read for me.

Audriza Banerjee
The concept of the book is very unique and I had read nothing like this ever. The language used was easy and lucid. I really liked how a different font was used for thoughts. The intricate details of the book are a very important pillar on which the plot stands and is very important for a fantasy like this.

The characters are well developed and adventures mentioned in the book are very exciting. The cover itself is very beautiful and acts as a introduction to the tale.

Suruchi
This is the story of Jim Ozy, his adventures, the mystery behind his sudden absence and the dangers he faces. The book opens with the narrator visiting the Annie serpent stretch to write about Jim Ozy. He is informed that Jim Ozy is no more alive but there’s someone who believes the opposite!
The narrator lives a whole different life in the village as compared to the one in city. He is taught about the harvest seasons and the rituals of rural people. Suddenly there’s an uneasiness that he fears is not just about the early evenings or dark nights. What is it?
The plot of the story is very different, unique and amusing. The narration has been done beautifully, it involves story within a story and dialogue within a dialogue but it doesn’t hamper the narration of the book.
There are a lot many characters in the book which sometimes makes it difficult to keep a track of events, as in who says what and who’s related to whom. The language is very simple, plain and lucid.
The cover of the book is so eye catchy and interesting that it tempts the reader to pick it up.The title of the book could have been better but it’s nonetheless satisfactory.

Mrinaal Datt
I am not someone who reads fantasy generally. But this book was certainly quite interesting to read. This book is originally meant for young adults. The plot is very well-written but it seems to falter at certain places, especially in the second half.
However, I really like the narration of the book. It is simple and straightforward but that does not compromise on the quality of the writing. The one issue I did have though was remembering all the names. There are quite a few characters which made it difficult for me to keep track at times.
Overall, the book is a great read. If it had been a bit shorter, it would have been a much more gripping read.

Sakshi Saxena
A short and light fantasy book for you.
This book is a story of Jim Ozy and the adventures that he has done in his lifetime. The adventures by him are quite unbelievable but there was a writer called Nathan who was extremely fascinated by Ozy and he wanted to write about him. Nathan travels to mountains to write about Ozy but when he reaches there, Ozy was not there since 6 years. Question comes here is : what was so fascinating about Ozy? What were the adventures that Ozy had done? Read book to find that out.
Writing style of author is so lucid to understand that beginners will definitely find it easy to understand and read. Also the flow is maintained well.
What people will find most interesting in this book will be the adventures of Ozy and the friendship of Ozy with Geronimo.
I will recommend this book to all the adventure and fantasy lovers

Jim Ozy And The Perils Of Algebra.” The moment you hear the title, algebra I equations may pop into your mind but this debut novel is packed with journeys that are indeed mind boggling and leaves its readers wishing it wasn’t ficticious at all!
The protagonist of this story, Nathan himself is a writer and is a huge admirer of Jim Ozy. He was Nathan’s inspiration as he was known for being daring and extremely adventerous and knew that he would make the perfect protagonist for the book he had set out to write.
Nathan visits Annie Serpent Stretch to unveil his remarkable and mystical journeys as the stories he had from various story tellers refrained from providing answers for his questions and Nathan knew there was more to it.
Does Nathan find Jim? Does he acquire the privilege to quench his curiosity?
Nathan Pratyksh Khanna has driven his readers into a magical and supernatural world filled with a startling combination of suspicious, evil, warm-hearted and mellow characters.
Nathan’s writing style is highly descriptive and even though the story is slow paced, one might get hitched onto it. Overall, be sure to pick it up if you’re an admirer of necromantic and uncanny stories

I felt it was written in bits and pieces, and each chapter felt like an individual story, which made is quite difficult to capture the mood of the book.
But I would really like to appreciate the author for his imagination that he has used really well in his narration. Also I liked how each character has their own built up. Though there could have been lesser characters.
I loved the concept of the book which is quite different and so in the book’s cover.

Shakti Diwedi
The author Nathan was so fascinated by the stories he heard about Jim cozy that he went seeking for his Hero. The book speak about the adventures of Ozy and the journey of Nathan to find Ozy. Are curious curious to know who Ozy is ?for that you need to buy the book.
-The book is not bound of constraints of reality it keeps expanding. When I saw the cover for the first time I straight away new what genre the book belonged to, this is what makes or breaks a book. I really love the cover, I mean the cover itself was enough for me to buy this book. I appreciate how keenly the author has described everything the names of the places and the currency he invented, these things built the foundation of this book really strong. I almost felt that I was living the journey with Ozy and Nathan, a journey I didn’t wanted to end. All the characters are sketched well but my favourite is Ozy obviously. The book is literally my first fantasy book that I love so much.
-WHY YOU SHOULD BY THIS BOOK:
Complex world build.
Unique Dynamism.
The book expands once conception conception of reality.
It is a blend of old and new concept.
