      Grades 4-7 Gabby is nervous about starting her new school, but she is more nervous that people will find out about her brother, who is ill. She loves and worries about him and his condition, but she is tired of being just the girl with the sick brother. Then Aria, a guardian angel in the form of a friend, comes into her life and tries to help Gabby find her own voice. The relationship that develops between the pair gives Gabby confidence. Gabby's voice is authentic, and children who feel defined by a family member's illness will easily relate to her feelings. Aria will be an excellent character to watch in future books in the Everyday Angel series as she continues to help those in need and understand her limitations and abilities. Despite the serious subject matter, there are moments of lightness, especially when Aria is narrating; her readers will welcome her future assignments to earn her wings.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2014, American Library Association.)
