When I was little I got a cheap plastic magic eight ball. It was one of those things that you ask a question and shake. It then gives you an answer like yes, no, or ask again later. Anyways, this is the type of gift Erin Channing got from her Aunt in this book. Hers is a little different though. Unlike some five dollar toy you could probably buy from Walmart, Erin's actually works. Any prediction the crystal ball makes comes true, sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worse. The rules that came with the crystal ball are on the back cover of the book. Erin tries to decipher their meanings throughout the whole story. I usually really like books with clues, letters, or something different about them, but this one was only okay. It talked about dealing with a difficult loss and true friendships. I would recommend it for teenage girls who like books with a lot of surprising twists in them.
