Here is the deeply moving and entirely irresistible story that introduces Coleman and Dinah Greene, the stars of RESTRIKE and FATAL IMPRESSIONS. Set in small-town North Carolina, it tells of orphaned cousins who discover each other and believe that angels are watching them and guiding them through their most important moments. Seven-year-old Dinah has been blessed with a loving grandmother and great aunt. Five-year-old Coleman has not been so lucky. But now that the two have been united the wonders of the world begin to reveal themselves.
Touching, thoughtful, and rewarding, ANGELS is a treasure.

Good use of spelling for dialect, managed not to be annoying about it, which is rare. Really liked how Coleman stood up for herself yet remained polite. Action taken against bully _wonderful_, especially in the heat of battle.
