Query Roundtable - Crystal's Magic

Rachel at You Are What You Write is having a Query Roundtable. Basically, we post our queries and visit everyone to give them helpful comments and feedback so our queries shine. Want to join in? The details are here.



Here's the pitch portion of Crystal's Magic, a paranormal YA novel, now revised based on comments:






God answers nearly all of fifteen-year-old Crystal's
prayers. At least that's the way it seems since time slows down so she doesn't
miss the bus and speeds up so she doesn't have to answer questions in class.



But after she discovers a hidden note detailing how her mother sought the help
of witches to conceive her, Crystal’s
faith becomes one giant question mark. She tracks down the witches and demands
answers. The witches tell her she's been answering her own prayers because she
is the human incarnation of magic—the only person whose magical potential is
limitless.



Although she's skeptic about being the incarnation of magic, Crystal's curious and struggles to learn to
fly and play with magical fire. But it's not all fun and games when a witch
hunter captures her boyfriend, and several shamans snatch her aunt. For someone
with limitless magic, Crystal
should be easily able to rescue them but every time her emotions run amuck, her
magic goes haywire.  If she can't learn to control herself, she'll never
be able to save them.




Instead, Crystal
just might start the Apocalypse and doom the entire world.


Any and all comments / feedback / suggestions welcome! Thanks!
