On her birthday Jenna did not get what
she wanted. Instead, she ends up at this fast food place that is decorated
cowboy style, with peanut shells on the ground. As a gift from her
parents she gets the ugliest large, round silver pendant with hieroglyphic writing
around the disc. Her disappointment is not noted, however, before she looks up from the table and sees the boy who saved her last night when she was on the roof trying to
save David, the boy she was babysitting. The surprise on her
face alerts her family that something is up with Jenna as she stares at the waiter, whose name is Luke.
Luke happens to be a new kid at her middle school who can sing like an angel. When the try-out for Fiddler on the Roof is announced, Jenna, Adam and her friends audition and are chosen. And it turns out that Luke has not been truthful about who he is and why he is here on Earth.
This middle-school story is full of laughter, tears and heavenly surprises.
David,
who is nine years old, is full of mischief and causes all kinds of trouble, but he is also
endearing and likable. Luke is cute and has
a story like no other, which
is linked to the bad guy Adam. This heavenly
delight of a story is a must-read.
Summary: Jenna is not sure why she babysits her next door neighbor’s son who
is nine. He is always out to
get her,
and as expected, he has pulled a fast one on her and she finds herself on the roof of his house trying to
get him to safety when all of a sudden she feels herself slip off the roof. Then the most
unexpected thing happens as she feels herself float down to the ground!
