| Summary | "The Crystal Ball" by Roy J. Snell is a mystery novel targeted toward a young adult audience, likely written in the mid-20th century. The story unfolds through the experiences of Florence Huyler, the protagonist, who finds herself drawn into the intriguing world of fortune telling and crystal gazing, while encountering a young girl named June Travis with a hidden past. The narrative combines elements of suspense and adventure as Florence navigates through a web of mysteries surrounding June's quest to uncover her father's identity. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Florence Huyler, who, fueled by curiosity, investigates a mysterious room filled with dark velvety drapes and a crystal ball. Her encounter quickly escalates when she witnesses a vision of a girl within the crystal, leading her to become embroiled in the girl’s life and the secrets surrounding her past. The opening hints at deeper themes of identity and the consequences of one's choices, as Florence grapples with her fear and fascination for the mystical powers of the crystal ball and the individuals involved in this shadowy world of fortune telling. As the plot unfolds, readers can expect a blend of mystery, personal exploration, and the dynamics of friendship among the characters. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
