Whatever you've heard about Darius Drake...it's wrong.
Some of the stories are lies, some are mistakes, and the rest were invented by Darius to fool his enemies.
And I do mean ENEMIES. Not school bullies or mean kids. I'm talking about real, grown-up enemies who would stop at nothing to find the legendary Dunbar diamonds before Darius and I did.
So whatever you've heard - forget it. Because THIS is what really happened.
Newbery Honor author Rodman Philbrick has written more than a dozen award-winning novels for young readers, but before he began writing children's books, he was a prize-winning author of mysteries for adults. Rodman Philbrick's first novel for young readers, Freak the Mighty, has nearly four million copies in print and won the California Young Reader Medal before its release as a feature film, The Mighty, starring Sharon Stone. Rodman Philbrick grew up in a small town in New England, and he currently divides his time between Maine and the Florida Keys.
