Legend of the Ps'tu

Sixteen-year-old Crystal Hope is eager to start her next level of education on a science exploration ship. What she doesn't expect is to be put in charge of a mysterious plant from a dead planet.

This unusual plant bosses her around telepathically and gets her into more trouble than she'd ever imagined. Ps'tu claims to need Crystal's help in returning him to his planet. He also claims he will bring life back to that world. With doubts and hesitation, Crystal sneaks Ps'tu aboard the exploration ship. Big mistake. The space pirates have need of the legendary Ps'tu and will stop at nothing to find it.
