PJ Profitt’s life is complicated enough. She faces ridicule from class bullies, is burdened with an obnoxious younger brother, and has a dad who’s checked out of their relationship.
Then a mysterious letter is placed in her hand, warning that time is running out for her world and telling her she’s been chosen to save it.
Friends disappear and her family is threatened as she faces a powerful force that manifests itself in darkness, the dark deeds of evil men, and creeping shadows. PJ is whisked away to where answers come in dreams and time travel, beloved animal friends fight by her side, and an eccentric neighbor and Peruvian shaman serve as her guides.
There is a powerful evil force working toward the destruction of the earth as we know it. I’m afraid you will have to face this force!
Dispelling is a crossover MG/YA Speculative Cli-Fi, Eco-Fiction. It is a magical realism novel that portrays youth experience in a world facing extreme degradation of its natural environment. With hope in the strength and courage of today’s youth, it addresses the very real existence of eco-anxiety and the important place of youth activism in saving the world. It is a story of fantastical elements that support the ever-existing magic of a powerful love. This power is always working just beneath the surface of our hero’s world, waiting for its wise, brave young inhabitants to tap into it.
