Angel's Grace sucked me into its pages with island images and great characters, and the mystery at the heart of it really got me involved. But it's the heart in this writing that really shines. A young teen knows she doesn't quite belong...knows that there is a secret at the heart of it. And her relentless spirit keeps her hot on the trail. But what she learns is unexpected, and the bonds of her family are rewoven. A beautiful and tear-inducing book that is so touching. Perfect for readers in the 5th grade through 9th grade age range looking for a heart-felt summer read! ( )
