The Misconception
A Spirit Guide, A Ghost Tiger, And One Scary Mother!
Volume one from the Psychic Megan Series
The Misconception (volume 1 / 24):
In The Misconception, Megan is twelve years old, and her mother has locked her in the coal cellar again for talking about her psychic powers. ‘Telling lies’ as her mother calls it. She’s frightened of the spiders she cannot see, but her friend, a huge ghost Siberian tiger comes to give her moral support. As she contemplates her future, her deceased grandfather takes her on an outing to the sea by Astral Travel.
The Psychic Megan Series
The Psychic Megan Series consists of twenty-four novelettes about a young girl’s growing realisation that she is able to do things that none of her family can. Megan is twelve years old in the first volume. She has two seemingly insurmountable problems. One, her mother is frightened of her daughter’s latent abilities and not only will not help her but actively discourages her. Two, she can’t find a teacher to help her develop her supernatural, psychic powers. For she wants not only to know what it is possible to do and how to do it, but to what end she should put her special abilities. Megan is a good girl, so it would seem obvious that she would tend towards using her powers for good. However, it is not always easy to do the right thing even if you know what that is.
These stories about Megan will appeal to anyone who has an interest in psychic powers, the supernatural and the paranormal. It appeals to many people who are between the ages of ten and a hundred years old.

Megan’s Unusual Gift – Book Review
Megan has a gift that her mother despises and fears. She is a twelve-year-old girl who knows that she is very different from other normal people, and cannot seem to find anyone who can relate to her gift. On the other hand, the only people who understand her are already dead. Written by Owen Jones (then, Ceri Carpenter), The Misconception – A Spirit Guide, A Ghost Tiger, and One Scary Mother! (then, The Story of the Development of a Psychic Teenager) is about Megan’s journey and lessons she learns through her ability and her special friends.
I am impressed with Megan’s determination to bravely endure the cruel punishments from her mother and being isolated from other normal people. Her friends, especially Wacinhinsha, are definitely her salvation. Jones’ (Carpenter’s) characters are well-fleshed out and easily relatable for readers, although I am quite frustrated with her father, who is exasperatingly clueless about his daughter’s predicament. I find no weakness in the plot; it is well-written and justifies the great premise quite well. As a whole, The Misconception does make you think; if you meet someone like Megan, would you turn the other cheek or give the person a chance for your acceptance?
All in all, a nice, short and entertaining read worth the time and effort of all readers. This is a paranormal story that is not really about the things that go bump in the night, but rather about a young girl’s struggle and persistence in a world that barely has room for understanding her uniqueness. I look forward to seeing how Megan continues to cope with the normal world and developing her special ability more.
