The Angels Under the Earth

by Lachlan Seipel, Chad Mitchell (Illustrator)

In a city where flowers always bloom, angels litter the streets, and drinks only cost a bit of human emotion, it's hard to complain. Every Guardian knows exactly what the 'monster under the bed' that children speak of is, and they honour a long forgotten contract with the humans by guarding against it. Or so it is told. In this young-adult novel with a fresh cover design provided by Scholastic, self-proclaimed angels and demons must join forces to fight for the safety of the people they love. As their quest continues, they can't help but begin to wonder just how much they're willing to sacrifice for the children they were instructed to protect. At what point does a rescue mission become a jail break? And at what point can one excuse themselves from their crimes? A team of angels and demons make a compelling multi-dimensional cast that tackles both the journey ahead of them in this novel, and the question of what makes something right or wrong. Each character must come to terms with their own sense of justice and fight to keep cohesion as their ideals collide during their mission to rescue the kids they care about so much.
