1-3Angel Wings series.
Illustrated by
Samantha Chaffey.
At the Guardian Angel Academy, Ella is the "imperfect" angel struggling with being good, and Primrose is her nasty nemesis. These second and third stories include an odd combination of magic, vaguely Christian references, angel-related trimmings (halos, sparkles, wings), and everyday elementary-school jealousies and friendship troubles. Young princess-loving readers will fly through these accessible but saccharine concoctions; others will get a toothache. Review covers the following Angel Wings titles: Birthday Surprise and Secrets and Sapphires.
