The Blood Stone By: Jamila Gavin

I really enjoyed this book its about a diamond called the ocean of the moon that a boy from venice uses to free his dad from hostage in afghanistan.His dad was a jeweler and made the diamond for his wife on there wedding day and went on a journey to hindustan on his way back he was held hostage and never came back for 12 years. Just after he left his wife had another kid called Fillipo and Fillipo got the diamond inserted in his head and travelled to afghanistan to free his dad with the diamond. During his travels he met a girl he really liked called noor and wished to marry her they met up alot and went on mini adventures. I recommend this book for year sevens and eights or for people who love alot of mysterys and adventure.
