Wow! This book was enlightening and empowering. These are the the types of books that move people into action. This is a great read for preteens and up. My favorite takeaways “if not you, then who,” “if not now, when?” GREAT BOOK!

“Loved it!….Miller has created a world that is both vivid and imaginative. The descriptions of PJ’s travels through time and space are captivating, and I found myself lost in the story as she discovered more about her role in saving the world. The way she weaves in different cultures and spiritual practices, like the Peruvian shaman, added another layer of depth to the story. It’s a fun, adventurous, and thought-provoking read that will leave you feeling inspired.”

“Tween readers will relate to the schoolroom bullying, sibling rivalry, friendship dynamics, and desire to be special and valued, but will wait impatiently for PJ’s destiny to finally be revealed, and for resolution of the cryptic clues that keep their secrets hidden until the last quarter of the book.”

“Libraries and teen readers looking for stories that go beyond time travel adventure alone to embrace underlying concerns of environmental activism, friendship and family relationships, and struggles with empowerment will find all these features come to life in A Dispelling of Darkness.”

“The novel’s prose is skilled and evocative, and PJ’s sensitivities, especially, feel genuine. The story’s encouragement of environmental stewardship is admirable, with the consequences of ecological damage described in intermittent, stand-alone chapter endings.”
