The Black Pearl by Scott O'Dell

The Black Pearl
Scott O’Dell
I remember reading this book in elementary school, a very long time ago. The book had an impact on me and my classmates. I remember how much we talked about menstruous manta rays. So I decided to revisit my youth with this mystical story.
Life takes us in the most unexpected directions. I’ve become completely fluent in Spanish, and I’ve traveled Mexico extensively. Reading this, I revisited the towns my wife and I stayed in on a road trip from the southern tip of Baja California to the northern tip of the peninsula.
Aside from my personal connections to this book, I found this book as mystical and as exciting as I remembered it. Back then, it never occurred to me to read another Scott O’Dell book, but I’m going to read another one now.
