AnnAlysis: The Secret Society of the Pink Crystal Ball
October 7th, 2010 | 
Author: 
Erin is a good girl who follows the rules, lives inside her good-girl box and gets good grades. She’s actually kind of boring, or so she starts to think when she has to explain in an essay why she should be chosen to go on an Art History trip to Italy. But when her eccentric aunt dies and leaves her a pink crystal ball, everything changes and Erin finally steps out of the box. But is it really the ball, or does that just give them the push they need to start new things?
Of course the cute pink cover drew me into this book and the thought of magic always catches my attention. But there’s not much more to the book than the short, above description.
I really liked the moral of this story. We have all played with the Magic 8 Balls before and probably some of us have believed they knew what they were talking about and gave us confidence to go through with what the ball told us would be a sure shot. That’s what happens to Erin and her friends. The ball may have magic in it, but everything that happens after asking a question can easily be a proven coincidence.
I give The Secret Society of the Pink Crystal Ball 2 bookmarks. I think this is a little too young adult for my taste.

Sounds like a cute book, for sure, but maybe not one worth picking up right now. I trust your judgment
More and more, lately, I find myself not really connecting with young adult stories… it scares me to say, but I feel like I might be getting “too old” for some of these plots! A good book is a good book, for sure, but books dealing with really young teens haven’t seemed to be impressing me lately. This doesn’t sound like one for me, though I do love the pink!
Meg, I am feeling the exact same way. It feels like for every one I like, I read 3 or 4 I don’t. Looks like I’m going to have to start walking the aisles of the book store looking for something new
