The Secret of the Magic Pearl
by Elisa Sabatinelli and Iacopo Bruno
Review by Alex A
This bright, vividly illustrated early chapter book, translated from Italian, is a joy! Beautiful pictures accompany a charming seaside story about family, adventure, and learning to treasure the little things. When Hector discovers the magic pearl of the sea, he is forced to confront the greed of his enemies, and defend his family and the sea they love.
Perfect for beginner readers aged 7-9, and makes a great read-aloud!
