Angels Inc.

by [ABPBC]

This short chapter book for beginning readers revolves around the friendship and amusing misadventures of young Wendy and Zach in Vancouver. Wendy decides they should form a club to perform a good deed for various neighbours and that she would be an ideal President. Zach creates the club name, Angels Inc., and is a somewhat reluctant member unless he has ice cream and treats. After several well-intended Amelia Bedilia-style mishaps, they save the day by thwarting thieves about to steal antiques from grouchy Mrs. Creech’s garage. Authentic-sounding, sassy dialogue and the humorous illustrations will entice young readers. Students are invited to blog or log their own good deeds at http://angelsinc.wordpress.com/.

McBay has co-written two books with James Heneghan and was an English teacher in Burnaby, BC. LaFave is a multi award-winning illustrator.
