And the book could be used as a discussion guide about the topic of suicide, and even why we are here.īut my concern is that some young readers might take the book too literally. And I do believe that it might help some young people who are considering suicide realize the greater extent of the impact of their actions.
Nanette is desperate to help Vera and struggling to find a way. But even the angels have their own faults and soon he is distracted and disappearing all the time. She soon meets another guardian angel who starts to teach her some of the ropes. First she goes through periods of darkness and witnessing the life of a girl named Vera. But the peace she was expecting in the afterlife did not come. She wanted to get into a specific university program. Nanetta was a young girl with her heart set on one thing. So when you die you become a guardian angel, and as an angel you have the choice to fight for your charge or give up. It is new and unique in presenting Guardian Angels, as people who have already passed away, and they are given a chance to help someone who faces struggles similar to their own. It grabs you right away and you really want to know what is going to happen next. So First I will cover off the positives and then share my concerns.įirst this book is very well written. Cattapan's writings, and it is very well written. She’s going to find peace in the afterlife…as soon as she can convince Vera that living is what life is all about. The shock is enough to supercharge Nanette’s determination.
Frustrated by her inability to reach out to Vera and haunted by memories of her old life, Nanette wants to give up, but then she sees what happens when another Guardian at the high school turns his back on his charge. She has no tangible body or voice, either.
Unfortunately, Nanette is missing more than just her wings. Soon, she learns she’s a guardian angel, and the only way she can earn her wings is to keep her young charge, Vera, from committing the same sin she did-taking her own life. Trapped between alternating periods of utter darkness and light, Nanette is stuck following a high school freshman around.
Unfortunately, the afterlife offers something less than a heavenly situation. But when her dream theater college rejects her and her best friend dies in a terrible accident, Nanette decides the world would be better off without her. Seventeen-year-old theater geek Nanette believes her life is headed toward stardom on Broadway.
