Book Two: The Ruby Pendant
Welcome to New Orleans- home of Mardi Gras, jazz music and voodoo. Eighth grader Melanie Belaforte is home for Spring break and itching for excitement. Late one night she discovers a hidden chamber and a secret journal in her deceased Aunt Florence’s bedroom.
The diary contains the writings of a mad woman, along with vague clues to the whereabouts of a ruby necklace that once belonged to Cleopatra. The ruby bestows upon the wearer the power to hear other people’s thoughts- even the thoughts of the dead!
And so the hunt begins. Melanie, her best friend Sybil, and a haunting specter unravel clues that take them from crumbling graveyards, to the busy streets of the French Quarter, and then into murky swamps, all to find the prize. But they need to watch out, because a murderous cult is matching them step for step, and they won’t give up, ever.
My thoughts:
Another fantastic middle grade adventure book. It's mysterious and dangerous, New Orleans as the setting is perfect. I fell into the story easily and was invested in the characters right away. The story flowed well and the pages flew by as the adventure continued. Secret journals, hidden chambers, scary specters, graveyards, swamps, jems, friends and a cult - all combined for our reading enjoyment - don't miss this series.
Amazon Book Description:
