Short
Summary of the book:
This is a nice book for older children and teenagers.
In places, it is reminiscent of Harry Potter and the author seems to have
borrowed a few ideas from those books.
Meet Alaric, a boy who is moved from foster
home to foster home by his social worker Mr Solomon. But all is not as it seems
and accidents make it necessary for Alaric to move to the next home.
His last foster carers pose an unexpected
challenge and soon Alaric finds himself discovering who and what he is slowly.

Any
further books in the series? Any more planned by this author?
This is the first book I’ve read by this
author and I understand the next in the series will soon be released.
What
books could this be compared to and why?
Although this book has elements of Harry
Potter and Percy Jackson, it is not quite in the same category. It’s a good
book, though, and enjoyable enough

Description by Author:
Three teenagers accused of stealing the
world’s most valuable object.
A real thief with dangerous intentions.
Can they stop the thief and save the world
before it’s too late?
An absolute must-read for fans of Harry
Potter and Percy Jackson!
Thirteen-year-old Alaric Swift lives a tough,
lonely life. He’s never known his parents, nor had any friends.
However, everything changes after his
adoptive parents attempt to eat him, and he’s taken to live on the magical
island of Harramore. The reason? Alaric is the son of the most powerful being
to have ever existed—the King Guardian, Rei.
So begins a magical adventure as Alaric
learns to master hidden extraordinary powers, meets creatures beyond his
imagination, and gets caught up in a plot to steal the world’s most dangerous
object, the Golden Pearl.
The Power of the Pearl is a captivating
opening to the Miracle Prince series and a page-turning debut.
"Edmonds mixes dark fantasy with a
coming-of-age tale that is sure to excite young readers. His intelligent
writing style and creative world-building make for a fantastic story...perfect
for ages eleven through fourteen, but great for older teens, too." -
