About this ebook

Newbery Medal winner Sharon Creech crafts a truly endearing story, one that is imbued with happiness, wonder, and an appreciation for all the little things that make life big. With beautiful, fresh new cover art, this is a gem of a book.

In the winding stone tower of the Casa Rosa, in a quiet little village in the Swiss Alps, lives one very unlikely angel—one that is still awaiting her instructions from the angel-training center. What happens to an angel who doesn't know her mission? She floats and swishes from high above, watching the crazy things that "peoples" say and do. But when a zany American girl named Zola arrives in town and invades the Casa Rosa, dogs start arfing, figs start flying through the air, lost orphans wander in, and the village becomes anything but quiet. And as Zola and the angel work together to rescue the orphans, they each begin to realize their purpose and learn that there is magic in the most ordinary acts of kindness.


One unfinished angel, a zany girl with a mission, and a gaggle of lost orphans are about to turn a quiet Swiss village completely upside down.


  • Magical Realism for Kids: Meet an angel who lives in a stone tower, watches the crazy things "peoples" do, and has no idea what her mission is supposed to be.
  • An Unlikely Friendship: When a determined American girl named Zola arrives, she decides the confused angel is her new partner-in-crime—whether the angel likes it or not.
  • Found Family: A group of lost, hungry orphans wander into town, and it’s up to an angel and a girl to convince a whole village of grumpy grown-ups to help.
  • Heartwarming Humor: Laugh out loud at the angel’s unique view of the world in a story that proves the biggest magic is found in the smallest acts of kindness.
