(4) YA Freya's obsession with angels led to years of mental illness and institutionalization. At fourteen, just when she's determined to attain normalcy, she starts to become an angel. Though the mundane aspects of the story never quite mesh with the philosophical, undermining the novel's intensity, McNish's dreamlike imagery and haunting characters anchor this ambitious parable about the agony of responsibility.
