Book Review The Pearl Hunter

By: Chris Payne

The Pearl Hunter by Miya T. Beck is an enchanting fantasy novel for tweens inspired by Japanese mythology. Identical twins Kai and Kishi travel land and sea on an epic journey filled with dangerous encounters and exciting adventures. If you’re a fan of the Rick Riordan Presents authors, Graci Kim and Yoon Ha Lee, you’ll love this story’s imaginative plot and characters. This novel is an excellent gateway into learning about Japanese culture, traditions, and ancient beliefs.
