The Possibilities of Sainthood

(2) YA Fifteen-year-old Antonia, whose family owns an Italian market in Providence, Rhode Island, has two passions: saints and Catholic-high-school hottie Andy Rotellini. Antonia petitions the Vatican, modestly offering herself as the ideal candidate for sainthood, while simultaneously working toward getting her first kiss. Freitas provides an amusing glimpse at how a passion for religion can happily co-exist alongside other, less-exalted kinds.
