Keeping Angel

A Mystery Thriller for Middle Readers

De: Angela Dorsey

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

As soon as Mika runs from the abandoned house, the frightened cat in her arms, strange things begin to happen. Someone watches her house and a dark presence stalks her in the woods. Mika feels creeped out—but she also has lots of other things to worry about, like hiding Angel until she’s allowed to have a pet, handling her irritating brothers, and adjusting to Dad’s recent sad gruffness. Then the true owner claims the little cat. Mika gets a second chance to rescue Angel, and after a narrow escape, thinks the problem is solved – until Angel’s owner comes back with something that devastates Mika and her family—and Mika discovers something she thought only existed in nightmares. Does Mika have the courage and skills to stop Angel’s darkly gifted, cruel owner? Will she even survive? “Recommend. Angela Dorsey has created a tightly plotted mystery thriller for upper elementary readers. The shading of the creepiness of the house will set readers' nerves on edge. The plot is well balanced between mystery elements and the elements of family life. Mika is a strong character.” ~ CM Magazine
