Book Summary:

When Erin Channing's favorite aunt dies, Erin is bequeathed a pink crystal ball and a set of weird instructions. Granted, Aunt Kiki (aka Aunt Kooky) always lived "outside the box." But now Erin and her two best friends are convinced that the pink crystal ball holds the key to their future-or at least the key to getting dates...

In a world where nothing is certain, a little magic couldn't hurt...right? 

My Thoughts:

The Secret Society of the Pink Crystal Ball, written by Risa Green, is a YA fiction novel that readers ages 13 and up will enjoy.  Green's novel focuses around Erin Channing, smartest kid in the 10th grade.  Erin is your typical teenage girl who feels her life is boring and unexciting.  At any other time this really wouldn't bother Erin, but now that she has to come up with an essay about herself to win an all expense trip to Italy, she wishes her life was a little more exciting.   When Erin's Aunt Kiki leaves her a mysterious pink crystal ball, she will soon discover that perhaps wishes can come true.  

The Secret Society of the Pink Crystal Ball is a well written novel with funny and loving characters.  Although, Risa Green was writing for a young adult audience, I still was able to enjoy the book and have a few laughs.  I would definitely recommend this book for girls 7th grade and up.  And of course for us a bit older than that who enjoy our YA fiction.
