From skateboarding to free-running, circus star to computer genius, the four children in Andrew Fusek Peters story Diamonds are for Evil have the most amazing talents. Ben is a free-runner who seems to be able to get out of the tightest situations by literally running up the wall - or jumping off one! Charlie is a talented athlete with a sideline in circus skills - everything from juggling to fire eating. Break and his skateboard are nearly inseparable, and San can hack into any system CCTV, computer or mobile phone.
The gang get themselves into trouble trying to do a favour for a friend. Soon they are on the trail of some ruthless jewel thieves who will stop at nothing to get their hands on a fabulously expensive pink diamond. The friends find out that doing favours can be a dangerous activity because someone has been lying to them all along, but who?
This is a fast-moving, exciting adventure story for older children, literally death defying in places! The second in the Skateboard Detectives series and recommended if you enjoyed
