In Search of Perlas Grandes

Nat is a young boy trying to find his father with the help of a family friend. However, despite his friend's help, Nat tries to find his father his own way by using deceit. He learns that his deceitfulness only hurts others. This book is full of suspense, action, and strange turns of events. It held my fifth grade class in rapt attention! This is a "must read" to children!

A suspenseful adventure that teaches the ends of deceit

This book gives a thrilling account of a young boy looking for his supposedly late father. He uses a treasure map that leads him to find his father. Nat, the main character, uses a family friend to be a means to an end. All the while Nat is tracked by a vilenous man set on killing Nat's father. This is a great book that teaches the consequences of lying and deceit, and adds the compassionate love of a friend as a good balance overall.

Very adventuresome and wholesome book about the human spirit

From the beginning the book provided action and suspense. It had several twists in the story that I was not expecting. I would recommend to younger readers 8-18. This book will teach values and consequences.
