Overview

From a #1 New York Times–bestselling author, a guardian angel lends friendship, support and magic to a girl struggling with her brother’s illness.

At a first glance, Aria seems like your average twelve-year-old girl. She has coppery hair, colored shoelaces, and a passion for cupcakes. But there’s more to Aria than meets the eye. She can dream things into existence, use her own shadow like a door, and change the world in small, important ways. Aria is a guardian angel. She’s been sent here to earn her wings. But to do that, she’ll have to help three different girls.

Aria’s first mission is Gabby Torres. Gabby’s always been quiet, but ever since her brother got sick, she’s barely said a word. When a new school offers her a fresh start, Gabby wants badly to be someone new, but she quickly learns it’s hard to make friends while keeping half her life a secret.

And then Aria shows up. Aria, who knows exactly what to say and do to make Gabby feel better. Will she be able to help Gabby find her voice? And will Gabby still trust Aria when she finds out exactly what she is?

Read an Excerpt

From EVERYDAY ANGEL #1: NEW BEGINNINGS: "I'm sorry," Aria finally whispered as she slid onto the bench beside her. "What if he was alone?" Gabby's voice trembled a little as she wiped her eyes on her sleeve. "When he died?""He wasn't," said Aria, too quietly for Gabby to hear."It's not fair," whispered Gabby, balling her hands into fists. "None of this is fair."Aria looked up at the ceiling and wished it were the sky. "At least he's--""Don't," snapped Gabby. "Don't say at least he's at peace now. I hate it when people say that like it makes death better.""I don't think anything makes death better," said Aria. "But it was time for--""It's never just time," said Gabby. "And how can you say that?" She shook her head. "I thought you cared about him . . .""I did," said Aria. "I do. But Henry was . . . I think he wanted to let go."Gabby gave her a long hard look. "You knew."Aria's eyes widened. "What?""All day you've been weird. You knew this was going to happen. Or that it had happened."Aria could feel it. This cusp. The chance to tell Gabby the truth.Aria sighed. She was so tired of keeping secrets. Would it make Gabby feel better, to know Henry hadn't been alone? To know it was time for him to let go? To know why Aria was here?"I saw him come this morning," she said quietly. "Saw who?"Aria chewed her lip. "The boy in the hall. I'd been waiting for him. He was a different kind of . . ." She trailed off."Of what?"Aria didn't actually like this word. It seemed too large, too heavy, but it was the only way she knew to explain. "Angel."She'd braced herself for any number of reactions to the too-big word, everything from disbelief to mockery to awe. But Gabby only stared at her, eyes red. "A what?" she whispered.
