Summary from Usborne
Gabrielle Divine has been invited to a very special school to learn how
to be a guardian angel. Although it means leaving home, Gabrielle's very
excited. But her new classmates already have shimmering wings and
sparkling halos while she's just a girl from earth. When everything at
her new school is so completely out of this world how will Gabrielle
ever fit in?
Nayuleska's thoughts
This as a mega adorable series, with
exciting angel features such as charm bracelets to record your achievements and
exquisite dresses. The only part I wasn't keen on was the mean girl's
confession at the end -blurting out the whole truth the way she did didn't feel
quite in keeping with her character.I was in tears at several parts because of
the emotions Gabrielle experienced.
