such as Treasure Island, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea or King Solomon’s Mines

 

 

With a heart set on adventure, Rufus begins his quest to find the biggest diamond in the world. He does not fully realise how unpredictable, dangerous and exciting an adventure can be, and has to conquer many fears along the way. Rufus is thrust into a world where animals can talk, where characters from stories and legends come to life, and where the old and new exist side by side. On the course of his journey, Rufus is viciously attacked by pirates, is shipwrecked, takes a thrilling trip in a mysterious submarine and, somehow, ends up in Africa. Along the way, Rufus is befriended by the cocky, but streetwise, Jim Hawkins, and together they brave the tumultuous ocean, jungle and desert and finally the fabulous diamond mines of King Solomon. Here they fall into terrible danger when ghosts and curses of the past rise up against them………

  

 

Reviews of Rufus and the Biggest Diamond in the World:

“The first few sentences of this book got me hooked, and as the story goes on you find yourself worrying if they will ever find the diamond, or even survive!
It has quite an unexpected ending, but I won’t spoil it!
This is definitely a book that will put a smile on your face!”

 “The final scenes were surprisingly provocative and genuinely had me thinking, even days after I closed the book. To find such depth in what is, on the surface, a kid's story was as unexpected as it was rewarding! Definitely recommended for younger readers, but adults will find material to chew on here too.”

David Brookes author

“In Rufus and the Biggest Diamond In The World, Michael Elsmere creates nothing less than a complete fantasy world of children's literature. Rufus has been told a story by his father about a diamond of a size beyond anyone's dreams. It is just waiting to be found, so, having lost his parents, Rufus sets out to do precisely that.”
