The Silver Crown by Robert C. O’Brien is quite a bit more violent than I was expecting. Wonderful story idea, great pace, but disturbing and darker than I thought it would be.
Nutshell: Ellen finds a silver crown on her pillow the morning of her 10th birthday. She heads off to the park, only to turn back to discover her house has been burned to the ground, with her family inside. The next days and weeks are a quest to find her only living relative while mysterious people try to capture Ellen and the crown.
