Book Description

Publication Date: July 1, 2005

Feisty Mel the trainee time-travelling angel is back for her fourth adventure! And this time, it's1920s Hollywood that needs her special touch...New-look cover for an angelic series rebirth! Mel gets the Call -- a strange out-of-body experience which tells Angel Academy students that they are ready for their first guardian angel module. At first, it seems like a suitably fluffy assignment -- the America of the 1920s, full of flappers and limos, jazz and silent movies. But Mel's got her hands full when she has to look after Honesty Bloomfield, a sullen, withdrawn girl who is travelling across America with her family. They are bound for Hollywood -- the city of dreams, or nightmares?
