Angel Creek
In her new falling-down home, in her new street, in her new suburb, Jelly waits for high school to begin. She can only feel happy up in the branches of the old apricot tree and by the creek at the back of the house. One night, Jelly and her cousins spot something in the creek’s dark waters. At first they think it’s a bird, but it isn’t…it’s a baby angel with a broken wing. And they decide to keep it.
But soon things start to go wrong, and Jelly discovers that you can’t just take something from where it belongs and expect that it won’t be missed.
Sally Rippin’s Angel Creek is a book about growing up: being brave and selfish and tough and scared. It’s a book about an angel. But not the sweet variety. It’s a book about the things that change and the things that always stay the same.

This was my first Middle Grade book dealing with angels. It was refreshing to see angels in this light. I was used to reading about angels looking like human beings, talking and interacting with people as if they belonged in this world. The angel in Angel Creek was far from this version. It was less human, more animal.
Jelly and her two cousins disobeyed their parents and went to the creek one night. There, they found the most incredible thing: a baby angel. Fascinated at something so cute, otherworldly and weak, they decided to keep it. But keeping it came with responsibilities. They needed to keep it safe from other humans and to feed and clean it.
Rippin’s writing was simple yet compelling. The themes of bullying, life and death, and family misunderstandings were tackled. The strengths and weaknesses of familial relationships were exposed and examined closely. I appreciate how Rippin made Jelly’s voice genuinely young with just the hint of maturity. Her development from a kid to someone who can handle responsibilities was very realistic. She made mistakes. Probably, a lot more than she would have liked but she learned from those mistakes.
Angel Creek is a breath of fresh air with its simplicity and juvenility. A quick, light read that anyone can enjoy. I recommend this to young and old readers. It’s something that will refresh your memories.

Angel Creek is a really lovely book that I only wish had been longer. It's set in Australia and is about 12-year-old Jelly and her cousins, Pik and Gino, who find a real life angel in the local creek. It's been likened to David Almond's The Skellig but, honestly, I think I preferred Angel Creek.
Angel Creek is one of those stories that moves slowly but surely, leaving clues all the way through. The angel itself is described brilliantly and I would have loved to see an illustration of it. All the characters are well realised, even those secondary to the story, and each has their own part to play. Jelly and her cousins are my favourite, not least because of their sheer determination to take care of this little creature that suddenly arrives in their lives.
Angel Creek covers many themes and issues, most notably family, loss and childhood innocence. It's subtle and quiet, but layered with so many underlying messages that I think a re-read will illuminate more than I originally thought. Author Sally Rippin reaches great depth with her characters considering how short the book is, and I'm surprised how much she was able to do in such a short time.
I would have liked this book to have been longer with more of the lovely little angel but, as a standalone children's story, it works very well and should inspire numerous discussions. It's a surprisingly good read!
3.5/5

Alright, so my review will eventually be up over at the Fiction Files (http://thefictionfiles.wordpress.com/), but here is a little thought that I had that I didn't think fit the kind of review I was writing for the blog.
On a slightly academic note, there is one character I find especially interesting, and that is the boy who shows up first with the bullies, and then again whenever Jelly is most in need, but is not actually named until the last couple of pages of the book. His name turns out to be Giacometti, which I looked up. According to Google, Giacometti has origins in Jacob, which of course means “holds the heel” or also “him who supplanted.” (Obviously there are biblical connections there). Furthermore, in the book, Giacometti’s nickname is “Spook.” So. This kid comes in and takes the place of the angel, and is not even named until the angel is out of the picture. He has the information that Jelly needs to complete her (and subsequently, the reader’s) understanding of the events that took place, and his nick name is Spook. I don’t really have a point, I just like drawing parallels.
But, it was a good book! Pretty cute, worth the read.

Review by Shelly
This is a cute short little book that wonders what it would be like if you found a baby angel. This is what happens to Jelly, Gino and Pik on Christmas Eve in the suburbs of Melbourne, Australia. Once they find it though what should they do with it and why is it here? Also why do bad things start happening to the family?
This is a very easy read with quite a simplistic story line but one that takes in a lot of different issues. The author touches on loss, heartache and many family issues but in a way that you don’t realise until you have finished the book and seen what a journey Jelly has been on. In such a short story she really does cover a lot and I do feel that is one of the downfalls of the book, I wanted it to be longer. You never really get to understand the baby angel and why it is here and I did think the ending was a little rushed and could have done with another twenty pages or so which would have fleshed it out a lot more.
Saying that I would recommend it as a group reading book as it opens up a wide range of discussion topics that are crying out to be discussed. Maybe they would agree with me that it should have been longer though!

This has to be one of the most beautiful covers of 2011, and maybe ever!!! I was sure Sally had done it but was surprised to read it wasn't her. I really enjoyed this book and think it would make for a fabulous literature club book for grades 3-6 because there are so many issues and plot twists that need to be inferred. Rippin's passages about the angel are so evocative, I could just feel her and see her.

Thank you to Text Publishing for a copy of this book.
This is a delightful read, perfect for a dreamy day down by the creek. Hopefully you won’t find an angel there. While you might think that would be delightful, it really won’t be.
When cousins Jelly, Gino and Pik the annoying little brother find an injured angel in the creek behind their house, it’s only the start of a downward spiral into learning the care and feeding of a baby angel. Clingy, petulant, and not at all used to being locked in a tin shed with summer's "heat pressing down," who would have thought a baby would entail so much work!?
The kids aren't allowed to go down to Merri Creek, but its one of two places Jelly likes about her new house, as she waits out the holidays to start at a new highschool without any of her friends. Jelly, Gino and Pik escape a stupid Christmas party to investigate the creek. A tunnel swallows up the water as it winds under the road and Jelly and Gino dare each other to follow it into the darkness. Gino spots a pile of white feathers trapped behind a rock in the water. What they first think is a bird that might not be dead, turns out to be a very live angel, which clutches Jelly when she pulls it from the rubbish and refuses to let go.
That’s when their troubles begin. Where do you put an injured angel for safekeeping? (and Jelly isn’t even sure if it’s more human or animal)
With no better ideas, the kids decide the safest place to hide an angel is a tin shed at the school, conveniently unlocked. In the dark of a summer evening the school’s an eerie place, but they just walked through the pitch black creek’s tunnel, so this was nothing.
As Jelly and Gino (with unwanted "help" from Pik) try to keep the angel fed and happy in the shed, while evading the notice of their parents and the local bullies, strange things start to happen. Firstly, Nonna is rushed to hospital that evening.
With their parents watching over Nonna at the hospital and Maureen the neighbour looking after the cousins, Christmas is cancelled for now. Jelly’s so worried about her Nonna, but elated that "their" angel needs food, water and care, acceptable only from Jelly, despite Gino's fruitless attempts at joint care. They discover the angel is rather partial to grapes, even learning to peel them.
In the days following, Jelly and Gino bicker about whose friends will be allowed to see the angel; a huge branch falls from the old the gum tree in front of the house, denting Zio Mario's prized Alfa Romeo; and baby Sophia comes down with measles. Did the angel have something to do with these things?
Jelly has awful nightmares about monstrous angels and on waking unexpected storms wreck havoc in the neighbourhood surrounding the creek.
Jelly and Gino realise perhaps their angel needs to go home. The bullies cause more problems but Jelly makes an unexpected friend (who’s had some experience with angels) and the cancellation of Christmas isn’t indefinite, just postponed. Their presents include something quite special that no one anticipated.
The cover design by W.H. Chong is sumptuous to my eye, and with sparkly bits! The title is gold (I'm pretty sure beaten gold leaf). The lettering is tantalizing, sometimes going over or under the line it follows, just as Jelly, Gino and Pik don’t quite follow their parents' rules, but get away with it nonetheless. The reeds rustle beside the creek, dark in the gloaming, and brilliant angel wings light up the murky waters. Inside the covers Susan Miller adorned every chapter with angel’s wings and the chapters have names! More fun than just numbers. To start it all, there’s a table of contents, not often found in the land of fiction, but a nice touch, especially with the lone feather heading the page. This feather has particular significance in the story’s denouement.
Sally Rippin’s son made her a book trailer for her birthday. If I haven't convinced you to read Angel Creek, Gabriel Stibio's book trailer will.

A short and sweet story.
It is interesting to read a book that describe angels that act in animal behaviour.
The little angel actually somehow symbolic to Jelly's frustation towards starting a completely new life, where apart from all her familiars -- her best friend, her old schools...etc.
When anger take control of her thoughs, bad things happend, which reminds me the Law of Attraction.
Letting go the baby angel feels like she is letting go her oppose towards the new life, accepting and adapt.
Not enough climax between the story.

This is a well-constructed book with interesting family dynamics. I felt I wanted a bit more information and bit more resolution of the various plot items - the bike boys, Zio Mario, the reason they moved house, the tidal wave in the creek, Gino's struggles - so I actually wanted this book to be longer! Which I guess is a good thing :-) An enjoyable and quick read. Sally Rippin is excellent at creating individuals and getting them to speak and act consistently and distinctly.

This was beautifully written and very evocative. It took me a while to really get into it, but once I did I was totally hooked and couldn't put it down. Rippen artfully creates multidimensional characters that feel so real and relatable, I felt transported back to my own 12 year old self. I think this story will stay with me for a while.

Jelly isn’t happy about her new house or having her cousins to stay at Christmas but when they find an injured baby angel in the creek, they decide they need to save it.
The story started well but it didn’t really go anywhere. It had overtones of Whistle Down the Wind, as in a group of children find something strange & supernatural & know they need to keep it hidden from the adults.

This review is also posted on my blog, In The Good Books.
Angel Creek was a short, sweet, middle-grade novel about the consequences of taking things from where they belong that perfectly encapsulates the innocence of childhood.
The spare prose easily evoked the young voice of our main character, Jelly. The setting was vividly described and atmospheric -- completely realistic. Our characters weren't all fleshed out and didn't have too much depth, but their motivations were easily understood.
Beyond that, I don't have much to say about this book. This is my usual issue with middle-grade books -- as interesting as other parts of the story may be, the young narrator that I couldn't relate to stopped me from fully appreciating them.
So while Angel Creek was a definitely sweet novel, younger readers (or just readers with 'younger' tastes) than I would probably enjoy it more. I had trouble connecting with such young characters.
I give Angel Creek a 3 out of 5.

I bought this book on amazon second hand because I thought the cover was pretty and the plot sounded interesting. I did not check that it was a YA book, I assumed based on the reviews. This was not a YA book, it is a children’s book so my review will be short and simple. I am also not going to rate it because while I would give it to a child I would not recommend it for an adult or teenager.
This is written about a girl from a small Spanish family and her two cousins who find an angel in the creek near their house.
i thought the plot was pretty well thought out along with the reactions of the children. i would have liked it if the book had included more about Spanish traditions but i do realize that just because about a spanish family does not automatically mean that the characters within would followmore Spanish traditions.
This was a sweet book that I would give to a child if I knew any.

Liked this one a lot. Loved the name of the main character "Jelly". Really liked that the angel wasn't the stereotypical beauty ...she was a screecher and clung to Jelly scratching when it was afraid.
Nice resolution. Easy read, so accessible even for less able Stage 3 readers. Would make an interesting Readers Circle text for Term 4 Year 6 as it deals with transitions/rites of passage including moving to new neighbourhood, and getting ready for high school.

Loved, loved, loved it! So happy I finally got to read the story after having waited several years from when I first heard Sally Rippin read an early draft of the first chapters to our fifth graders in Ghana. She was such an amazing author and illustrator to have on campus. Beautiful story about family and friends, belonging and finding out who you are. The very special cast of characters will stay with you long after you have closed the book, I guarantee.

Loved this family-based fantasy.
Jelly is struggling with moving away from her primary school friends, She is worried about starting high school, doesn't get along with her cousin, Gino, and there a family undercurrents that are making her very uneasy.
It all adds up to one very unusual Christmas.

Short and very sweet. The plot is as simple as you would expect from what is barely "young adult" fiction (I would probably shelve it under 9-12yrs, personally), but it's well written, cute and entertaining.
January 25, 2016
One of the first E-books I have nabbed based purely on the cover. It turned out to be aimed at a middle grade/primary school age group but was actually a very lovely little story. Easily read in one sitting but definitely a story that I would recommend to kids.

It was short but a very captivating book. The small bit of romance really brought the whole book together, really good book and an enjoyable read.
