Crystal — Rebecca Lisle

Escaping from a grey, rule-bound city, a girl discovers her family and homelandCrystal is unusual. With her silvery blonde hair and blue eyes, there isnâ,¬â"¢t anyone like her in the town except for her mom and everyone says her mom is crazy -- or a witch. Crystal knows that the town leader has something to do with her motherâ,¬â"¢s madness but how can she prove it? And how can she stop him when the town guard tramps the streets day and night, there's a curfew, and a strange creature in their house spies on them, recording their every move? When Crystal thinks she glimpses someone looking up at her from the depths of Lop Lake, she is amazed yet strangely hopeful -- could this be the help sheâ,¬â"¢s been waiting for?
