The Whispering Cove Kids Club: The Ruby Ring
By Donna Crouse
()
About this ebook
This story is based partly in fact as I, the author, at age eleven, lost my birthstone (ruby ring) after being told not to wear it in swimming by my mother. It now lies somewhere on the bottom of the Potomac River in Virginia, where we had our summer cottage at Fair View Beach, Virginia. I looked for it, but it was never found.
I made this incident into a story that focuses on Amanda and a gift she receives from her mother on her birthday, a ruby ring. Her mother cautions her not to wear it swimming. And as fate would have it, one hot summer day, she forgets to take the ring off and loses it in the ocean.
Her friends decide to help her find the ring. While searching for the ring, they meet and gain the friendship of a dolphin that they named Gigi. This is where the adventure begins.

PREFACE
The Ruby Ring is a story about seven children, who all live in a small quaint fishing town on the coast of South Carolina. These children have a club they call the Whispering Cove Kids Club, which is the name of the town. These children for the most part have lived there for most of their lives, if not all of it.
They go to school together, play together, swim and work together. They like nothing better than to have adventures fall into their laps especially ones involving any chance to go scuba diving. These children are Christian and were raised by Christian parents to be polite and respect their parents and other elders.
This story is a fictional adventure where they all get together to help Amanda find her ruby ring which she lost while
