Review
"'full of acute perceptions about bullying and how to stop it' Books for Keeps; 'a lively fast read, entertaining but with food for thought' School Librarian 'Fine has a rare genius for building a funny, enriching and moving story around the nuts and bolts of school life' The Times * 'A remarkable writer' British Book News * 'Anne Fine is an author who knows how to make readers laugh' Guardian"
Product Description
This is a classic school story from one of our best-loved authors. Until the angel came, Penny, Mark and Marigold were bitterly unhappy. 'Fat.' 'Freak.' 'Smelly.' Barry Hunter was bullying them and everyone at Nitshill Road School knew it. But the angel brings a clever solution. Life at school is going to be very different from now on.

Penny was plump; Mark was different; Marigold barely ever talked and lived on a smelly street. All three were very different but had one thing similar - they were bullied by Barry. So were a lot of kids but they were the most. That was until Celeste came. Look in a dictionary what does Celeste mean? It should say something like `heavenly' or `celestial'. Well that was one of the clues that the children realised when she first arrived. Another clue was that she was going to be called Angelica until her grandmother swooped down. Her father had dropped hr off but had to fly. And there were many other incidents but the pupils knew she was an angel. She changed the life of those three children.

I read this book with my class of 7-8 year olds as part of our topic on stories that raise issues. They absolutely loved it, as it is a wonderfully funny book which stimulates lots of discussion about bullying and how to deal with it.
It is also short enough not to get bogged down and you can actually finish it - I find this a problem when reading a class book!
I have now bought 6 copies as everyone in the class wants to read it again!!

Anne Fine uses her characteristic insight into the politics of children's relationships to produce a heart warming story which should provide comfort and amnusment to any child who has suffered victimisation at the hands of others or by their peers.
A well plotted story with some excellent characterisation.
