The Crystal Ball: A Mystery Story for Girls
The Crystal Ball: A Mystery Story for Girls
What begins as curiosity becomes a dangerous obsession. Florence Huyler can't look away from the mysterious back room with its dark velvet drapes and glowing crystal ball. When she finally peers into it, she sees a girl. A girl who needs help. June Travis is searching for a father she's never known, and the shadowy fortune tellers who inhabit that dim room hold secrets to her past. Florence finds herself drawn into June's quest, navigating a world where visions can be manipulated and identities concealed. This is vintage girls' mystery fiction at its finest: suspenseful, adventurous, and anchored by a heroine with the courage to dig into secrets others want buried. The period setting adds atmosphere, but the story's heart is universal: the drive to know the truth, whatever the cost.
