YA
Bette finds an angel medallion that helps her access the power within herself. The medallion next goes to hardscrabble classmate Joe, then to homebody Vivian; point of view shifts among the characters. Along the way the kids encounter adult guides who inspire their emotional growth. Cooper's story refreshingly focuses less on the angel's religious symbolism than on the spirituality of self.
