Summary
Although Angel deeply loves her little brother, Rags, the constant responsibility of caring for him often feels overwhelming for her at such a young age. These stories about the challenges faced by ten-year-old Angel O'Leary are sure to attract many readers. Judy Delton, a master of creating short, humorous episodes, writes about everyday children in a way that has been compared to authors like Beverly Cleary and Carolyn Haywood. Booklist described Angel as "a real, relatable child whom readers will connect with," and praised the structure of each chapter as a self-contained story, with Delton’s approach evoking the style of Eleanor Estes.
