Paloma has psychic powers and dreams of being famous like her grandma, a medium to celebrities. Initially upset when her parents move her and her sister from Miami to Los Angeles, Paloma soon conjures up a plan to start her own psychic readings service and the move doesn’t seem so bad after all. After something goes terribly wrong with a reading, Paloma finds herself in a bad situation. Can she fix the mess?
TOTALLY PSYCHIC was a fun middle-grade paranormal fantasy full of family, friendship, and ghosts. The writing was appropriately catered to the middle-grade level. Paloma’s flower premonition power was interesting and I liked how that was included throughout the story. Pacing of the book was quite slow. There were some good lessons within the coming-of-age story. One thing that did make me sad while reading was the focus that 12-year-old Paloma and her friends had on social media and the importance they placed on getting as many followers as possible.
TOTALLY PSYCHIC would be a good read for the middle-grade audience that enjoys paranormal stories. While I do like reading some middle-grade books as an adult, this one was paced a bit too slow for me to really love it.
