The Lucky Diamond

The diamond spoke. One word. “Run!”

When 10-year-old Cathy meets a magical talking diamond, she and her orphaned siblings excitedly agree to help “Lucky” get home to the Rock of Diamonds…before its powers die.

What the five children don’t know is that, far from their rundown home, on the other side of the monster-infested Great Forest, the evil Queen Rose is waiting.

With the help of a magic canoe, a mysterious compass, and a sulky prince, the orphans must foil monsters and witches on their journey to the Rock.

As Lucky’s magic wanes, Queen Rose’s plot grows ever more dangerous—for the Diamonds and anyone who dares help them. But these orphans are anything but ordinary, and power is closer at hand than they think…

The Lucky Diamond is a classic fantasy adventure for middle grade readers, full of the importance of family, trusting yourself, and standing up for what is right.

This book is part of a trilogy but can be read and enjoyed as a standalone.
