Hello, everybody!
Recently I read this awesome book written by Hope McLean. It is the first book in the Jewel Society series, Catch Us If You Can.
Jasmine, Willow, Erin and new girl Lili go to the all girls school Martha Washington. For years, their school hasn't taken part in the Quiz Bowl, but ka-boom, the four best friends are chosen for their expertise in different subjects. Jasmine, for Science, Willow, for Math, Erin, for History and Lili, for Art, Literature, Culture, Fashion and a bunch of other stuff...(she's still working on it.)
The Jewels team are winning competitions and are so close to beating their rivals, the um... Rivals of Atkinson Prep.Suddenly, their confidence is nearly shattered when the heart of the school, the Martha Washington ruby is stolen from display.
That's when the girls must go undercover to find the thief...or thieves. Shockingly- or maybe not- the thieves are the Atkinson Rivals! But when the Jewels try to reveal the truth, nobody believes them and they are only humiliated in front of everybody.
That's when they find a shocking letter from Martha Washington, which can probably tell them the mystery of why the Rivals want the ruby...along with four other precious stones.
Can the Jewels prevent the Rivals from carrying out their dangerous plan? Can they get their self-esteem back?
Hope McLean has also written the other books in the series, Diamonds Are a Thief's Best Friend, Keep Friends Close Emeralds Closer and Battle of the Brightest.
I recommend this book for 8 and above.
Although the idea that middle-schoolers can so smoothly steal jewels is skeptical, I totally cannot wait till I can get my hands on the next book!
