The Black Pearl by Scott O'Dell

3.0

I have mixed feelings about this rather short book. Maybe it was too short to develop a deeper story that would have grabbed my attention better. Maybe it was the emphasis on the legend of what a manta ray could do to the village people as I don't believe an animal can act like a human. Despite that it was well written and compelling until the end which was somewhat disappointing. I'd still recommend it even if it had some shortcomings.
