The Black Pearl by Scott O'Dell

Newbery Honor

A boy joins his father's pearl business. He has always dreamed of diving for pearls and with the help of a regular customer, searches for pearls. While searching, he finds The Pearl of Heaven but he doesn't know that it belongs to the Manta Diablo who hunts the boy down. The boy finally throws the pearl back into the sea afraid of the Manta Diablo.

It was given the title "The Black Pearl" because it's about a boy finding a black pearl.
