Book Description
Collecting the soul of an airline pilot who's about to have a heart attack is all in a day's work for a trainee angel; but when the angel in question is the disaster prone Mabel Hawkins, things are bound to become complicated. The discovery that one of the passengers is a terrorist, intent on destroying the plane and all on board doesn't help. If Mabel shows up at the Pearly Gates accompanied by a couple of hundred recently deceased airline passengers, St. Peter will assume it's all her fault and start shouting at her again; especially as the passenger list includes a group of elderly nuns. Meet Mabel Hawkins, L'Enfant terrible of the angelic realm. Whether her task is to guard some priceless religious artefacts, or simply collect the soul of someone who's died in their sleep and doesn't realise that they are dead, every mission ends in disaster. Eventually, even the venerable St. Peter has to seek advice from a higher authority before sending her out on an assignment. A delightful, laugh-out-loud romp through the afterlife with Heaven's most disaster prone trainee angel.

Hoosiers and the American Story
Author: Madison, James H.
Publisher: Indiana Historical Society
ISBN: 0871953633
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 359
Book Description
A supplemental textbook for middle and high school students, Hoosiers and the American Story provides intimate views of individuals and places in Indiana set within themes from American history. During the frontier days when Americans battled with and exiled native peoples from the East, Indiana was on the leading edge of America’s westward expansion. As waves of immigrants swept across the Appalachians and eastern waterways, Indiana became established as both a crossroads and as a vital part of Middle America. Indiana’s stories illuminate the history of American agriculture, wars, industrialization, ethnic conflicts, technological improvements, political battles, transportation networks, economic shifts, social welfare initiatives, and more. In so doing, they elucidate large national issues so that students can relate personally to the ideas and events that comprise American history. At the same time, the stories shed light on what it means to be a Hoosier, today and in the past.
