Heaven't You Heard?

Geanna Culbertson

Sinossi

Some people fantasize about happily ever after. Turns out the "after" to define my story is the afterlife. A teenage Guardian Angel's work is never done. My name is Grace Reyes Cardiff. I was seventeen when my mom and I died in a car crash. Don't waste your time grieving for me; I've already done that and I'm trying to move forward because Heaven gave me a big to-do list. See, once I made it past the Pearly Gates and got the basic questions out of the way (What's the deal with Stonehenge? Is my dead dog here?) I learned that I'm part of a small percentage of people with a soul qualified to serve as a Guardian Angel. Now I'm being sent back to Earth to protect a boy named Henry Sun who has the potential to positively and significantly impact humankind. Which means I have to harness my magical angel powers and natural spunk to thwart the dangers of life and demons who try to foil angels when they're not taking laps in lakes of fire. That's all while fixing my relationship with my mother, not getting distracted by the Liberian dreamboat in my angel training class, and seeing if I can be friends with the one demon down there who doesn't seem like he belongs. It's funny—I thought Heaven would be all about rainbows, cake, and puppies. I didn't think it would involve a massive identity crisis and going back to high school.

Those Kids from Fawn Creek

Erin Entrada Kelly

“A powerful and thought-provoking story.”—Shelf Awareness (starred review)
“An emotionally resonant story about authenticity and belonging.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“A raw, real exploration of belonging that’s also sweetly hopeful.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Every day in Fawn Creek, Louisiana, is exactly the same—until Orchid Mason arrives. From Erin Entrada Kelly, the winner of the Newbery Medal for Hello, Universe and a Newbery Honor for We Dream of Space, this contemporary school story set in small-town Louisiana is about friendship, family, deception, and being true to yourself and your dreams.
There are twelve kids in the seventh grade at Fawn Creek Middle School. They’ve been together all their lives. And in this small factory town where everyone knows everything about everyone, that’s not necessarily a great thing.
There are thirteen desks in the seventh-grade classroom. That’s because Renni Dean’s father got a promotion, and the family moved to Grand Saintlodge, the nearest big town. Renni’s desk is empty, but Renni still knows their secrets; is still pulling their strings.
When Orchid Mason arrives and slips gracefully into Renni’s chair, the other seventh graders don’t know what to think. Orchid—who was born in New York City but just moved to Fawn Creek from Paris—seems to float. Her dress skims the floor. She’s wearing a flower behind her ear.
Fawn Creek Middle might be small, but it has its tightly knit groups—the self-proclaimed “God Squad,” the jocks, the outsiders—just like anyplace else. Who will claim Orchid Mason? Who will save Orchid Mason? Or will Orchid Mason save them?
Newbery Medal and Newbery Honor winner Erin Entrada Kelly explores complex themes centered on family, friendships, and staying true to yourself. Those Kids from Fawn Creek will enchant fans of Rebecca Stead, Jerry Spinelli, and Kate DiCamillo.
