Angel

by Cliff Mc Nish (Author)

Synopsis

Not fit to be a daughter. Not fit to be a friend. Not fit to be an angel. Two girls are inextricably linked by destiny, not choice.

Stephanie is friendless, strange, a misfit.

Freya can't stop seeing angels.

But when one of those angels begins to stalk her, its shadow following her everywhere, Freya is forced to make decisions from which there is no turning back.

Media Reviews
Outstanding prose is married to a suspenseful plot and a quiet humour. -- Amanda Craig * THE TIMES *
Stands out for its original subject and plot ...Each book takes McNish into new territory, and this one is both assured and thought-provoking. -- Nikki Gamble * THE BOOKSELLER *
Tense, quirky and highly individual, this story has plenty going for it. -- Nicholas Tucker * TIMES EDUCATIONAL SUPPLEMENT *
A deft construction - McNish vividly portrays two worlds in the light of each other, creating a thin space between them that makes for a moving and thought provoking tale. * BOOKS FOR KEEPS *
What a book. I simply couldn't put it down ... a highly charged look at personal spirituality... the writing is effortless and elegant and as it slips between character perspectives, Angel never loses an air of authenticity. And at moments, it reaches the sublime. I loved it. * THE BOOKBAG *
A fascinating read. * CAROUSEL *
This neat combination of teen angst and behavioural ethics is complex and charged. * THE DAILY TELEGRAPH *
This unusual fantasy is made plausible by a very strong depiction of the underpinning pattern of teenage anxieties and everyday angst. -- Lesley Agnew * THE BOOKSELLER *
Haunting and thought-provoking * CY MAG *
A fantastic read. -- Jo Griffiths * WATERSTONES *
If you love stories about friendship, this one's a must! * BLISS *
Author Bio
Cliff McNish was born in Sunderland, but has spent most of his life in the southeast of England. His first novel, THE DOOMSPELL, began as a story told to his daughter, Rachel, and the complete Doomspell trilogy has now sold nearly 300,000 copies in the UK, and has been published around the world. It was followed by the highly successful The Silver Sequence. Cliff's reputation as a major children's writer enhances with each new book, and his first stand-alone novel, BREATHE, received universal acclaim on publication in 2006.
