Manila Luzon and the Ruby Pearl
(2018)(A book in the Sickening Adventures series)
A novel by Michael Thomas Ford and Manila Luzon
Manila Luzon has always been an adventurer. But when her beloved archaeologist father disappears in the jungle while searching for the fabled Ruby Pearl, she trades in the dangerous life of an explorer for the safety of performing in cabarets. That is until the night an old family friend stops by to ask her to go in search of the Ruby Pearl herself.
The Ruby Pearl is a gem with a mysterious past and an even more mysterious power. And Manila isn't the only one after it. Someone else is desperate to find it before she does - someone who might also know what happened to Dr. Gregorio Luzon.
Using a handful of clues and her own psychic intuition, our intrepid heroine plunges into the jungle, and possibly into love with the handsome guide she becomes entangles with. But if Manila can't find the missing stone before her competition does, her many questions will go unanswered.
Genre: Children's Fiction
