2008-01-14 The Pearl Diver

This book is about a young boy who's father is a pearl diver, Saeed is going to learn how to dive and his father is going to teach him. It is the start of the pearling season and he joins his father on his first trip on the waters of the Arabian Gulf. Saeed learns how to pearl dive and discovers the treasures and dangers of the sea. I bought this book because my daughter who is nine is reading it in school as a class, she has raved about it but they only have photo copies to work off and the pictures are unclear so I thought having the book would help her, she loves it and would recommend it to children of a similar age and older, the book is for children aged 8 - 12.
