Watch out! There's trouble--even in paradise . . .

A Tahitian black pearl necklace, missing for over eighty years, takes the thirteen-year-old Botanic Hill detectives-twins Lanny and Lexi Wyatt, and their friends Moki Kalani, and Rani Kumar-from California to the Hawaiian island of O ahu, in one of the squad's most baffling cases yet!

The teens' famous elderly neighbor Mr. Itsuki Yamada hires them to find his family's valuable heirloom necklace. Soon, they become embroiled in a complex mystery wrapped around the 1941 bombing of Pearl Harbor, World War II Japanese internment camps, an international surfing competition, treacherous sea caves, kidnappings, more thefts, an island cult inspired by a Japanese legend, and strange goings on in an abandoned pineapple shack.

Can the detectives prevent more crimes, avoid injury, and locate Mr. Yamada's pearl necklace before it's too late? Time matters-even in laid-back Hawai i!

Portrait

Sherrill Marie Joseph

The mystery genre took hold of Sherrill Joseph as a fifth grader when she discovered Nancy Drew and Phyllis A. Whitney mysteries. Years later, it still hasn't let go.

Graduating Phi Beta Kappa and summa cum laude with a bachelor's degree in English literature and a master's in education, Sherrill spent the next thirty-five years as a K-12 literacy teacher. When she retired from teaching in 2013, the Botanic Hill Detectives and their mysteries finally sprang to life.

Forever inspired by her beautiful students in the San Diego public schools, the author has peopled and themed the Botanic Hill Detectives mysteries with children of various abilities, cultures, races, and interests. She strongly believes that embracing diversity is the key to a better world.

She created her detectives to be mature, smart, polite role models that will appeal to parents, teachers, and kids, who seek to realize their greatest potential with confidence.

Sherrill is a native San Diegan where she lives in a 1928 Spanish-style house in a historic neighborhood with her poodle-bichon rescue, Jimmy Lambchop. In addition to her dog, the city of San Diego, reading and writing, the author loves her daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter. She must also include dark chocolate, popcorn, old movies, the color purple, and daisies. Having never lived in a two-story house, she is naturally fascinated by staircases. She is a member of SCBWI, Blackbird Writers, Children's Literature Council of Southern California, and the Authors' Guild. She promises many more adventures with the squad to come.
