Angel Wings series.
Illustrated by
Samantha Chaffey.
Young angel Ella Brown starts school at the Guardian Angel Academy, where she promptly makes an enemy (prim and proper Primrose) and three friends (Poppy, Tilly, and Jess). The formulaic boarding-school story is fluffy as a cloud, and new readers will fly like glittery, sparkly angels through the bland but accessible chapters.

Angel 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.
