Secret of the Dragon Gems

A Literati Exclusive! For eleven-year-olds Tripti Kapoor and Sam Cohen, summer camp is a complete disaster – until a shooting star reveals a glowing, silvery secret.

Tristi, a feisty bookworm from Massachusetts, and Sam Cohen, a shy, budding geologist from California, bond over their misery stuck at Camp Dilloway for the summer. But on the last night, something exciting finally happens: a shooting star lands near a creek, where they find two glowing, silvery rocks. They name their rocks Opal and Jasper, after characters in their favorite book series, The Dragon Gems.

But these are no ordinary rocks. Tristi and Sam must crack the Dragon Gems’ secret code and keep the rocks safe from a mysterious thief – all while living across the country from each other.
Told through letters, e-mails, instant messages, and video chats, this page-turning mystery is a little bit magic.
