Forever Angels Series, by Suzanne Weyn
So, in fifth and sixth grade, my friend Tiffany and I went through an angel phase. It was actually a little bit bizarre. We read all these books about angels that were way beyond our grasp, we wore angel jewelry, she redecorated her room entirely in angel stuff, we had angel stickers on all of our school stuff… and we read the Forever Angel series.
I don’t really know how many of these books there were, probably around 20? We devoured them.
And let me tell you: they were, looking back, very, very strange. They all featured a girl in some horrible situation: orphaned, unpopular, part of a house fire, and one where she almost killed an animal while working at a veterinary clinic are just a few that pop to mind. She doesn’t know who else to turn to, so she turns to her guardian angel or angels that show up along the way. The angel is only seen by the girl and she guides her to make the right decisions. Totally strange.
A lot of the books came with freebies: an angel charm, these Victorian-looking angel stickers, stuff like that. All the better to add to our angel obsession. Heh.
So that’s that. Now you know. I was obsessed with angels and reading sad books.
