Christina Cardens was rich. But that didn't make her happy. With a terrible father who's heart was as cold as ice and a missing or dead mother, she had barley anything to keep her happy except her friends. She lived a normal life, well normal enough, up until they started to come.
At first it was once every month, a flash of teeth there, and patch of fur here, and a shimmer of scales way over there. No not there. Like next to the water fountain. No not that water fountain the one I'm pointing at. Yeah that one.
...
Anyways they got worse and worse, following her around, no one else can see them but her.
That wasn't the weirdest part.
The weirdest part was that they had a crystal the size of a small circle imprinted on them like a tattoo. It looked like the same crystal hanging from her neck that her mother gave her.
Christina goes on a search for her mother because of a strange dream that she has, and a strange memory that she dreams.
She meets many weird animals, and finds out a secret. A huge secret. Blah blah blah READ DE BOOK AND COMENT THINGS THAT U DONT LIKE ABOUT IT PLZ

The Magical Secret of the Crystal Kingdom
For those who love to adventure... This STUNNING debut novel will captivate your imagination and immerse you in its magical, fantasy world. My name is Rose and I have a question for you. Have you ever been transformed into a horse or a unicorn? How about a dragon or an eagle or even a dolphin for that matter? Have you ever been transported into a strange new world? Well let me tell you, it's AMAZING!! It all started when I began dreaming about a house when I was eight years old. I told my mum and dad about it and they showed me an old photograph of the house for real that they had kept hidden away from me since I was a baby. That was when they told me I was adopted. I wasn't really shocked or upset. It was like somehow I had always known. Fast forward five years and we stayed in that very same house. That was where we found the cave in the woods and more importantly, the crystals buried inside it that we took back to the house. Now that would have been the end of it under normal circumstances; if this was just a normal wood that we had walked through; and if we had just found a normal cave, with normal crystals. But the truth was it was not a normal wood, it was not a normal cave and the crystals we had found most certainly were not just any old crystals. In fact, that night, something amazing started to happen. A soft glow started to appear from one of the crystals in a corner of the garden and covered us, before gradually transforming each of us into magical animals. Then we started floating one by one up into the sky, inside the beam of light. This is the story of what happened next and how I discovered The Magical Secret of the Crystal Kingdom.Complete

Who will Arise?
Waking up face down in mud sucks any day of the week. But coming around in the sludge of a strange realm...? Well, that just redefines a bad day altogether. Trapped in an unfamiliar world, sixteen-year-old Quinn is frustrated that none of the strange Tree People appreciate his urgency to get back home to earth. Now he is faced with a choice that could change the course of his life: escape and find his own way home, or stay and help them find the cause of the poison ravishing their world. When the mind-reader unlocks one of the ancient mysteries of the Tree People it points to the only way of saving them from annihilation: they have to find the Power of Light. What exactly that means, the mind-reader doesn't reveal, but his next warning comes as a shock to all present: finding the mysterious Power of Light can only be done with the help of the dangerous enemy tribe whom they once called family. Quinn soon finds himself a little more entangled in the lives of these gifted beings than he'd care to be. Especially after meeting Jazz: the feisty girl from his world who seems to be a regular visitor to the world of Zoay. To Quinn's constant frustration, the aqua-eyed pixie makes it clear that she's not there to make friends. On their journey they'll brave bizarre encounters in dangerous alien forests, while sacrificing pride and will for the survival of all. Along the way Quinn finds more than he ever thought to seek: purpose, fulfillment and love. When the Power of Light is finally found a devastating discovery is made: if all of Zoay-including their enemy-want to live and prosper, one must be willing to sacrifice their life.Complete

You didn't even notice I was there. You just stared at something, something that wasn't visible and y-you-" Paused Stiles, whose legs were vibrating and he started to breathe heavily. "And I what?" I asked trying to get the words out. "You died." He stated. "What?" Asked I, like he had just said the most craziest thing ever. It was slightly humorous. He had to be joking, I thought to myself.
