Ms. Stem writes a mythical YA story with creatures who cry silver tears and pearls that gather in the mist. A spaceship crashes on a new planet, to escape the destruction of their own. Will they end up destroying their new home whose local inhabitants are leery of their presence though they think they're gods. With wicked goddesses who wreak havoc, and an innocent newcomer who vanishes and may hold the future of this planet in her hands, The Salt Box will enchant readers. Diane Scott Lewis
