The Unfinished Angel by Sharon Creech


I loved this story. It has a light humorous twist introducing Zola, a unique American girl, to an angel, who has been without a purpose. Zola is the only human who can see the angel. The plot involves Zola and the angel working and fighting with each other to accomplish an important mission.
