Adventure
Plot:
Kino,
Juana, and their son Coyotito
are very poor, and they get
their money from finding pearls.
Coyotito got stung by a scorpion
and the bite/ sting was very
bad. Then they needed money to
go to the doctor, so they went
and found this huge pearl and
they thought it would turn their
life around.
good:
Kino is the husband of Juana and
the father of Coyotito. Juana is
the wife of Kino and the mother
of Coyotito. She wants to throw
the pearl back because the pearl
brings...bad luck.
Coyotito is the son of the
family. The doctor is the bad
person in this story; he tries
to kill Coyotito so the couple
will give him the pearl to fix
Coyotito. This is a very good
book, and I loved it.
weaknesses:
I think the book should have
more details. I think that's
all. I think if you did any
thing else it would mess up the
story.
