Book Description

Book 3 in the Samurai Girl series

When I was six months old, I dropped from the sky - the lone survivor of a Japanese plane crash. The newspapers named me Heaven. I was adopted by a wealthy family in Tokyo, and for nineteen years, I thought I was lucky. I'm learning how wrong I was. . . . I'm more alone than I've ever been. But at the same time, I'm more free. My best friend says she can show me a new world, and I'm ready to get out of this one. I shouldn't take chances right now. But I must. . . . I am Samurai Girl.

Available only in The Literacy Bridge 5.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Yet!!!, September 6, 2003

This review is from: The Book of the Pearl (Samurai Girl) (Paperback)

Definitely the best samurai girl book yet. I was kinda on the fence about the series but book 2 was better than book 1, and now things are gettin really good. Heaven is so much cooler and I like the tension with Karen. I also like that Heaven gets a job in a club and meets lots of interesting people. I definitely recommend it. But now I have to wait for book 4 :(!

These books only get better the more I read. The book of the pearl is my favourite yet. I feel like I really know heaven now and am getting to know the other characters, the good the Bad and the UGLY. The action is exilerating and I literally couldn't put this one down.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great!!!!!, October 14, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Book of the Pearl (Samurai Girl) (Paperback)

This is the greatest so far of all 3 books.Things between Karen and Haven are getting worse by the minute.When Heaven finally gets a new job she turns into the new party girl Heaven.She makes new friends,enemies and decisions.Desicions might not be the best when you work at a club either are your friends.Ecspecially when all your friends are much happier without you.Poor Heaven though....Cheryl is still her friend but what is Hiro now.....and we all know what Karen is.
