Lost Legends: Diamond in the Rough

Description

The second book in a new middle grade series that features the adventures of Disney’s most lovable roguish heroes as kids!Before he defeated Jafar, Aladdin was just a poor boy on the streets of Agrabah…”do you trust me?”Twelve-year-old Aladdin has spent his entire life roaming the desert with a group of nomads. He has nothing to his name except the clothes on his back, the stars in the sky, and a peculiar necklace left to him by his late mother. But that doesn’t bother Aladdin—he doesn’t want much. If he had three wishes, he would only ask for one thing: a home. A place to belong.
When Aladdin is separated from the nomads in Agrabah, he feels drawn to the city’s bustling streets. This is a place full of possibilities and magic, one that Aladdin might even be able to call his own. Facing a whole new world with danger lurking around every corner, Aladdin soon joins a group of thieves who teach him what it takes to be a street rat. Aladdin will need to put those skills and his good heart to the test when whispers of a mysterious “diamond” catch up with him and threaten to destroy his new home.
Filled with heart-pounding perils and rambunctious mischief, the Lost Legends series explores the untold origins of Disney’s most infamous rogue boys.
