Children's Literature

Twelve-year-old Miki Vann loves her native home, the tropical island of Awdi Salaca. Most of all Miki enjoys observing the green water horse that lives in the surrounding sea. What could be more magical than a water horse running through the waves, streaming with the breath of the sea? When Miki dives into the water one day, she has a close encounter with a water horse. But at the center of the island, trouble brews; the volcano rumbles and spews smoke into the dark sky. Is this an omen of dark times to come? Miki's family is descended from a long line of pearl divers, and the story of the "Heart of the Sea" is her favorite legend. One day Miki searches for pearls herself, but she encounters fierce sharks who threaten her life. The girl is saved in the nick of time by a water horse with a royal bloodline, and Miki has a special destiny herself. In order to save her island, Miki must find the "Heart of the Sea" and bring life back to the coral reef. Through love and devotion, Miki restores life to the coral reef and the beautiful island where she lives. The ninth book in the "Bella Sara" series will enchant young readers who have fallen in love with these adventure stories. Reviewer: Suzanna E. Henshon, Ph.D.
