Books for Young Adults
The Pearl Hunters
The year is 1799. Constance Blackchurch's mother disappeared sixteen years ago, and Constance barely remembers her. But when she hears that her father, a merchant seaman, is taking an unexpected trip to Ceylon to track her mother down, Constance stows away for an adventure of a lifetime.
The warm waters of the Indian Ocean are where Alexandre dives for pearls - but they are not his to keep. His talents are far greater than the ability to hold his breath longer than all the other divers. He is an artist, and when he meets Constance, he finds hope that one day, his life will be different.
But Alexandre has upset a very dangerous man. And as Gilbert de Locke draws ever closer, Constance will be thrown on all her resources to save her own life... and the life of her father.
"The setting is exotic, the plot keeps evolving and the conclusion is very satisfying... a vibrant romantic adventure story. Highly recommended" – Good Reading
