Books with title Angel Feathers

"Feathers and fur don't mix!" squawk a pair of ducks when they see Tuesday the Cat licking his chops over a nest of eggs. But when Tuesday sees the eggs in danger from a storm, he takes heroic action, and life-long friendships result in spite of major differences! This heartwarming story was inspired by real events in the author's own neighborhood, and yes, Tuesday the cat and the now-grown ducks are still the best of friends.

Frannie doesn't know what to make of the poem she's reading in school. She hasn’t thought much about hope. There are so many other things to think about. Each day, her friend Samantha seems a bit more “holy.” There is a new boy in class everyone is calling the Jesus Boy. And although the new boy looks like a white kid, he says he’s not white. Who is he? During a winter full of surprises, good and bad, Frannie starts seeing a lot of things in a new light - her brother Sean’s deafness, her mother’s fear, the class bully’s anger, her best friend’s faith and her own desire for “the thing with feathers.” Newbery Honor-winning author Jacqueline Woodson once again takes listeners on a journey into a young girl’s heart and reveals the pain and the joy of learning to look beneath the surface.

Alex is angry and miserable. He has lost his mum, his Dad has packed him off to live in Cornwall with Great Aunt Mary for a year, and his most treasured possession has vanished. He hates the countryside after the noise and bustle of London, and there’s the Gnarly Man in Tappers Wood to worry about. Can the down-to-earth love of Aunt Mary, the friendship of a mysterious young girl, and a little bit of magic help Alex to turn his life around?
