My Thoughts:
This is an incredible book. Freckles is a very loveable character. He very much wants SOMEONE to give him a chance to prove himself to be 'just like everyone else'. He wants to be a productive citizen and to find someone he can love. He doesn't really expect to be loved in return, but truely desires to love others. He has many challenges and adventures and is able to prove his worth many times over to someone who will just give him a chance. The Angel is lovely in spirit as well as looks and gives Freckles someone to admire and love from afar. Together they must save something worth much more than money can buy.....
I rate this book a 5/5. Go and find it and read it.....it is good for readers of all ages!
