THE 5 PEARLS

A NOVEL

A dying substitute teacher with a dark past and an old widow abandoned by her family are the last chances for the five tadpoles to finish high school. But you can’t teach the unwilling. When sudden death arrives at the students’ doors, events take on new consequences.

Now it’s up to the five teenagers to solve a mystery and get their lives on track. Can they do it? With their constant infighting and bickering, probably not.

B.J. Hickey’s well-drawn characters will keep you on the edge of your seat guessing the truth to the last page of THE 5 PEARLS.
