A Kid's Review

Angels Don't Know Karate by Debbie Dadey and Maria Thornton Jones
This story takes place in the school yard with friendly Eddie, Howie, Liza and Melody.
Eddie doesn't believe in angels. Eddie is double dared to climb a tree. He tries, but Eddid fell out of the tree, and is caught by a stranger. His friends try to convincehim that she was his guardian angel. The stranger hands them tickets to a karate demo to watch the stranger. The next day Melody believed the strangers angel Miss Michael was a guardian angel. The four friends spied on Miss Michaels for proof that she is an angel. They found no proof and she left the school. Melody still believed she was an angel but Eddie didn't because angels don't do karate.
I really liked the book because it was about an angel. I think that everyone that believes in angels like I do would really like the story. If you don't believe in angels you might change your mind after you read this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for Young Children, October 30, 2003

By A Customer

I remember reading these books as a kid - they take up half of my bookshelf! The plots are entertaining enough to get kids to read and the books are short enough so that they won't get bored. If you're looking for a book for your second to fifth grader to read, especially if they're not interested in reading, this series is a good one.
