Blog Tour -- The Ruby Pendant by Dorine White


 Blog Tour


 The Ruby Pendant: Cleopatra's Legacy 2
by Dorine White




Blurb:
Welcome to New Orleans- home of Mardi Gras, jazz music and voodoo. Eighth grader Melanie Belaforte is home for Spring break and itching for excitement. Late one night she discovers a hidden chamber and a secret journal in her deceased Aunt Florence’s bedroom.

The diary contains the writings of a mad woman, along with vague clues to the whereabouts of a ruby necklace that once belonged to Cleopatra. The ruby bestows upon the wearer the power to hear other people’s thoughts- even the thoughts of the dead!

And so the hunt begins. Melanie, her best friend Sybil, and a haunting specter unravel clues that take them from crumbling graveyards, to the busy streets of the French Quarter, and then into murky swamps, all to find the prize. But they need to watch out, because a murderous cult is matching them step for step, and they won’t give up, ever.




And the awesome book one:  
The Emerald Ring




Blurb:
Sara Bogus’s life turns upside down when she discovers an emerald ring that once belonged to Cleopatra. The fun of discovering the ring’s unique abilities turns to fear when she finds out a dangerous cult bent on restoring Rome to power is after the ring. Forced to choose between keeping the ring and saving her friends, Sara learns the price of bravery in this electrifying read!



I love both of these books! These are ideal for all middle grade readers -- boys and girls alike.  If you are looking for an exciting new series, this is it!

I have The Emerald Ring on my future read list and this new one sounds equally enchanting. It's also nice to hear boys and girls would enjoy the tales. Thanks for featuring.
