The Tale of Angelino Brown

261 pp. | Candlewick | March, 2018 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-9563-7 $16.99
(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Alex T. Smith. After bus driver Bert discovers a tiny boy angel in his pocket, Bert and his wife Betty, the cook at St. Mungo's School, care for the angel. At school the students love "Angelino"--but then he is kidnapped by young criminal K, and the race is on. The homey British setting and diction add to the appeal of this witty and wonderfully outlandish, but tender, tale.
