This debut middle grade series stars a Cuban-American tween medium navigating friends, family and ghosts!
Paloma Ferrer is psychic. In fact, everyone in her family line has “the gift.” Now that Paloma has come into her powers, she dreams of a famous medium to celebrities, being just like her beloved grandma. When Paloma’s parents move them from Miami to Los Angeles, she hatches a plan to get her career as a medium up and running: Host seances at her new school and stream on social media Build her profile and make a name for herself Avoid detection from her tattletale of a little sister
But when a reading gone awry leaves Paloma in a sticky situation with a new friend, she’ll need more than a crystal ball to find her way out of this mess.
Beginning: "My abuela, Gloria, had a gift."
56: "The next morning I trudged down the stairs, yawning as I went."
Comments: I had the chance to review this book (thanks to Bookish First & the publisher). It's a delightful middle grade novel with plenty of psychic hijinks. It releases on the 15th, and my review for it will be posted next week. What are you reading this weekend?
