In this tale of adventure, 13-year-old Jonah and his sister Eliza are part-angels on a mission to save their mother from the forces of evil. Their mother, a nephilim half-angel, has been kidnapped by fallen angels. Jonah and his sister, helped by their guardian angel, embark on a wild journey through New York City to rescue their mother.
I've been reading a lot of angel fiction recently, and so I was intrigued by this one. It did not disappoint, I can tell you. The author does a fantastic job of telling a tale of action and adventure. Swords, shields, sea-creatures - you name it, this book has it. I was delighted to find a book that would appeal to boys, since good books of this variety are few and far between.
Another impressive aspect of this book was the religion. While the book is obviously a work of fiction, I felt that the theology was sound. Best of all, the book sends a powerful message to Christian youth without being preachy. (And it is not without a certain degree of humor that I say that it's the first book angel I've read where the characters actually pray!)
I highly recommend this book for any middle schooler or even upper elementary student. Boys would especially like it. This is Jerel Law's first novel, and I'm eagerly awaiting the second installment in this series.
Four out of Five Stars
