"Ramon thinks the legend of the Manta Diablo, the giant manta ray, is just a child's story told by mothers -- "If you do that again, I will tell the Manta Diablo!" Some of the pearl hunters in La Paz, including Ramon's grandfather, said they had seen the great devilfish and told fantastic stories of it. But when he found the great black pearl, Ramon discovered that the Manta Diablo was no legend. Ages 10-14."
"this is the kind of book you dont even need a bookmark for, because it isnt going to take you more than one sitting to finish. i read it because i need to read 3 newbery or honor books i havent read before for class (why am i so honest??) and i love island of the blue dolphins more than most books, but have never read anything else by scott o'dell. i dont know how kiddies respond to it, but for me it was too brief to really grab me. the descriptions are still great, and its a fine story, but as an adult, i am more demanding. this would be good for kids who dont like reading but have to do a book report. its the shortest book ever!"
"This was a quick fun read. It was a poignant coming of age story. I'd like my kids to read this one, I would enjoy discussing it with them.
In this story Ramon, a 16 year old son of a wealthy Pearler, dreams of finding a gigantic black pearl. He wants to find the great "Pearl of Heaven" to prove that he is a man. After repeated humiliation at the hands of the Sevillano, one of his Father's employees, he desires to prove his worthiness.
He finds the great black pearl, but he has stolen it from the Manta Diablo, the great sea monster of the Vermillion sea. That is when all the trouble starts....
