Kids of all ages will enjoy this fun, heart-warming story of Pippy, an 'angel-in-training' who gets into trouble and has to figure a way out. Helping out on her journey is the endlessly patient Divine Guidance Counselor, Lucy, who grants her one wish, along with an important assignment that teaches responsibility, wisdom and giving to others. Joining Pippy on her adventure is Cosmo the Owl, a family of noisy robins and Roxy the fairy. Can Pippy stay out of trouble long enough to see her assignment through and graduate with the rest of her friends at St. Valentine's Junior High?

Ms. Ryan has a gift for descriptive prose, and her story is filled with quirky characters who will delight the reader. Pippy is spunky and fearless, and you'll root for her every step of the way. Looking forward to more books from this author!

This was such a sweet book with an awesome message. Pippy proves that every one of us--angels and children alike--is uniquely cool.
Pippy is a cute angel who wants to fly and graduate with her class. The only problem is that she has so much energy and creativity that she has trouble focusing on instructions. She also has difficulty sitting still. And her inventions tend to get out of control and land her in trouble.
But Pippy is kind and gentle and learns lessons in how to love and care for others and in the end succeeds in her own special Pippy way.
Very fun book!

Pippy is a Jr. High Angel-in-training. Full of high spirits, inventions and ideas that seem to keep her perpetually in trouble! Now she may not graduate to High School unless she can pass a test and prove she can focus and learn the truth behind the saying "Be careful what you wish for".

Follow along with Pippy and find out what she learns and is it enough?

A good book for school age kids. I know my Grandchildren will enjoy it!

I haven't read a children's story in a long time. I'm certainly glad I read this one. Pippy's Wish has all the delight and innocence I was looking for. The tale is sweet and funny. An absolute delight!

Pippy is the kind of angel I wish I would have watching over me. She's an unedited version of fun, joy, and seeker of adventure. The story is deliciously described and about Pippy wanting to graduate with her friends. She is given some tasks to do so she can meet her goal. She is a flawed angel and her flight to happiness is a journey to enjoy.

The author weaves the tasks in a fun way for both parents and children. In fact, I wish my teenagers were younger. I would have relished an opportunity to read this story to my youngsters at bedtime. It's full of action and twists, too. I love the scene where Pippy is stuck on the top of a Christmas tree. While she is, the natural magic of what happens will bring a tear to your eye and fulfill your heart.

I'm going to read it again in case I missed anything. But you shouldn't miss this story. It's a book for all ages.

was given this book by the author for an honest review.

This was a quick, fun read. If you have a child who is interested in what the Guardian Angels area is all about, this cute story will help you explain it in a fun way. Lots of great teaching moments. I love how the reader is drawn right into Pippy’s world; in fact, she reminds me a bit of my son who is always on the go and thinking about the best way to achieve what he wants.

Pippy is an Angel-in-training who wants more than anything to graduate with her class and move on to bigger things. First, though, she needs to buckle down or she might get left behind. Pippy is a great character, and i would love to see more adventures.

This review is coming from my 8yr old grandson.
We read this together and he wanted to tell everyone about it.
I really liked this because it’s silly and funny. I liked Pippy because she was really nice and she helps people. My favorite part was the ‘PP’ for Pippy Power.
I am going to share this book with my friends. This is a super good book.

I recieved this copy from the autor for a honest review.

I myself enjoyed this very much. Pippy is such a sweet loving 'angel-in-training'. Come and read all about her mishaps and sucesses. It will definitely bring a smile to your face.

Awesome Book!!! My daughter and I read this book together and we both loved it. It was so cute and we loved the "angel in training." Author Maddie Ryan did a wonderful job on this sweet story of this adorable and stubborn little angel. If you are looking for an early chapter book for your child...this one is perfect for that. Very cute and easy to read.
