“Grayson’s clever, humor-tinged writing is absolutely delightful.”—Booklist
Crystal’s mother calls her “The Unexpected Consequence of a Momentary Lapse of Judgment.” Her half-brothers call her “The Unwelcome Visitor” because they didn’t even know she existed until a few months before. Her stepfather doesn’t even speak to her.
Crystal’s beloved sisters, Tiffany and Brittany, decided to move in with their mothers after their father, Zeus, tried to use the girls to destroy true love. Crystal did what she always does—she did what her sisters wanted. Her sisters have loving mothers. Crystal doesn’t.
Even though she lives in a beautiful Central Park penthouse and has a credit card with no limit, she misses her magic. More than that, she misses her sisters.
She doesn’t fit in. And she can’t go home to Mount Olympus. She can’t even contact the Fates. Should she ask Zeus for help? Or should she gut it out in “the real world” with no love?
She knows what her sisters want her to do. She knows what her parents want her to do. Now, for the first time in her life, she needs to figure out what she wants to do, regardless of the consequences.
Praise for Crystal Caves:
“The second Interim Fates is an outstanding serious teen contemporary. The protagonist is the poster child for the original Maslow's Hierarchy as her biological, physiological and safety needs are met; but she lacks love and belongingness, esteem and self-actualization. Thus the storyline focuses once again on an outsider who fails to fit in after her fall from the top of the Pantheon to the bottom of an American high school, but Crystal has no loving support system unlike Tiffany. Crystal Caves is summed up in the immortal words of Yogi Bear: ‘...smarter than the average bear’ but still don't belong here (or anywhere).” —Midwest Book Review
