Like other young fellowship series, the key is the strong relationship dynamics, which are especially strong here, and the premise is enchanting from the start." - SPR 'A cleverly plotted supernatural adventure for middle graders and young teenagers with a strong cast of young characters and a memorable protagonist... there's an Enid Blyton feel to the book, particularly when she's solving a mystery.' - The Wishing Shelf Awards 'Time for PsyQ is a super-engrossing science fiction novel penned by Marti Ward.
