    About this ebook

    When Bette finds an angel coin among the money collected in a carwash, she puts it in her pocket and forgets about it. But things start to change, especially once Gabby, a mysterious and kind new neighbor, moves into Bette's Chicago building. Suddenly, Bette is able to face some big losses—her mother's recent death; her sister's departure for college—and move forward. And once the angel coin falls into the hands of three other kids in Bette's class, their lives change, too. Soon, these two girls and two boys will be connected in ways that open them up to unlikely friendships and new ways to believe in themselves. Here is an entirely new twist on the angel trend.

      Not my thing - a little too saccharine, with kids that seemed to act young for their age. But it's definitely something to hand to parents wanting their kids to read something with a "good message". Even though it's not really Christian fiction, it will please fans of that genre, as well.

      This is a nice middle grade story about friendship and rising above adversity that takes place at a performing arts magnet school in Chicago. Bette has a beautiful voice but lost her will to sing when her mother died in a car accident until a women named Gabi moves in the apartment downstairs. Joe is at the school for hardship reasons. It is his neighborhood school. He needed to take care of his poor, single parent mother when she had lung problems. He is angry and he is a bully but he is a skilled woodcarver. He gets involved with a guy named Mike when he builds sets for the big school production. Andy and Vivi are twins. Vivi has been home schooled because her asthma was out of control. Now she is afraid to go back because the steroids have changed her appearance. Then she meets Dr. Raphael who starts her on a new treatment regimen. Dr. Raphael is also treating Joe's mother.
