There are times in life when we need true friends who will stick by our side while we are going through a difficult time. These friends are extremely hard to find. Oliver the Oyster and the Pearl Gifts by J.B. Auchter is a good read, in my opinion, for kids and adults who enjoy well-written children's stories because of the powerful lessons it teaches.

Oliver the Oyster awoke one evening from his bed at his residence on the mudflats of Mayo Beach abruptly, feeling as though something was lodged in the back of his shell. When he told his friend Cathy the crab about it, Cathy, though not knowing what it was, suggested they go see a very old and wise lobster named Larry, who lives in the deepest part of the bay, and see if he could help. On their way to Larry's place, they met a mermaid named Miriah, who also joined them in search of Larry's place. Would Larry be able to help Oliver? Read this book to find out.

This book offers far too many lessons to absorb. I nearly finished the book in a single sitting because of how captivating the plot is. The one lesson in this book that really stuck with me is the tremendous friendship sacrifice that Cathy and Miriah showed. Oliver remained perched atop Cathy's back the entire time they were searching for Larry. I also learned many other things from this book, including the various types of tides and the value of oysters to the ecosystem.

I had no idea this book would have such an influence on me when I decided to read it. Even though this is a children's book, it has several advantages that adults and teenagers alike would find useful. The storyline was well-developed, the characters were accurately portrayed, and the author's writing style was excellent. The author's use of simple pictorial diagrams in this book is another unique feature that adds to its delight.

I couldn't find anything wrong with the book, so I couldn't dislike it in any way. This book was carefully edited because I was unable to detect any typos or grammatical mistakes. In light of this, I would rate this book four out of four stars. I would recommend this book to readers who enjoy children's stories; children ages 7 and older; and anyone who wants to learn more about friendship, tides, oysters, teamwork, and sacrifice.
