by Julie BerrySummary: When Lucinda's parents are killed in a carriage accident, she is forced to live with her uncle and his wife, and work in their jewelry shop. She endures all kinds of abuse from her aunt, and when her uncle dies, she has no safe place to go. A woman comes into the shop with a strange stone to be set, and when Lucinda tries to return it to her, she finds it has been stolen. She soon finds it's no ordinary stone, and it leads her on adventures with princes, witches, pickpockets, magic, and her own mysterious past.
My thoughts: Lucinda is a strong, smart, brave female character, and I love her! You might think you know where this book is going, but I bet the ending will surprise you! (Recommended to me by Laci, a senior at Lewisville High School!)
