Choosing can be hard, even for a superbeing. In ‘Time to Choose’, the fourth volume of Jan Turk Petrie’s much praised time-slip series, we leap forward to 2036. About to leave school, Ollie Brookes has to decide on his future, while his younger sister, Vega, is drawn towards the past. Both must keep their supernatural abilities hidden from friends and teachers while facing all their adolescent angst and uncertainty. Meanwhile, single dad Tom Brookes is working as a consulting detective specialising in finding lost pets by hopping back in time. When distraught mother, Sarah Baynton, asks him to discover what’s happened to her missing son, Tom is conflicted – more so when his preliminary investigations into the young city dealer’s disappearance get him into a whole load of trouble. As an already volatile situation takes a more sinister turn, both Tom’s children are reluctantly drawn into the Baynton mystery and face choices no kids should ever have to make.
