Kerman Derman and the Relic of Perilous Falls — Raymond Arroyo

For nearly a century, a sacred relic has protected the town of Perilous Falls from the raging waters surrounding it. But when Kerman Derman, a mischievous, headstrong, pith-helmet-wearing twelve-year-old borrows the relic for his own purposes, he rouses an evil foe. Unimaginable dangers ambush his family and friends. As boats sink and deadly creatures crawl up from the rising waters, Kerman must set things right and repel a fearsome enemy before it is too late. With the help of his sweet, if lethal, Aunt Lucille, the curator of a museum of powerful artifacts, Kerman uncovers a supernatural gift, his destiny, and a family secret that will change his life--forever.

New York Times bestselling author Raymond Arroyo introduces readers to the adventure-filled, comic, and suspenseful world of Kerman Derman in the first book of a rollicking new series. All those who enter Perilous Falls will soon learn that what you can't see is often more dangerous than what you can. And just wait till you discover what Kerman sees...
