Book 1
Mel is a trainee time-travelling angel. She’s feisty, witty, streetwise and… dead!
Melanie Beeby, just thirteen, has been permanently removed from the late 20th Century by a speeding joy rider. She is elevated to another place, where she attends the Angel Academy. When she is asked to join an elite trouble-shooting group, Angels Unlimited, she is sent on a trial mission to London during the Blitz to help save another young person. Mel breaks the only rule – she materialises to a human – yet still manages to come out top of the class! She is given her angel name – Helix – and comes up with her perfect teen outfit. ‘To me this look says committed, it says now, it says ready for action. I mean, I’m an angel, so I should look divine, right?’
Hilarious, fast-moving, other-worldly adventure!
Book 2
The second title about Melanie Beeby, the time-travelling, trouble-shooting angel. She’s feisty, witty, streetwise but definitely dead. She’s sent on a mission to Shakespearean England to make sure England doesn’t lose out on the man of the millennium!
Mel has now passed her exams to become a full member of the Agency – the specialist team of trouble-shooting, time-travelling angels. She’s not always happy and often thinks about her life, and of her mother back down on earth. But when she, Lola – her best-angel friend – and Reuben are sent on a mission to Shakespearean England, she realises that she must be fully alert and on the ball, if England is not to miss out on the greatest play-writing talent the earth will ever come to know. A robust adventure for the angel team featuring pirates, smugglers, wicked 16th century plots and plenty of sweet words. Friendships are made and broken – hearts too, in the second of these lively titles.

They are bound for Hollywood – the city of dreams, or nightmares?

Mel Beeby’s eighth exciting adventure takes her to medieval Japan, searching for a lost soul.
Mel and Reuben have been studying Soul Retrieval, running through all manner of challenging scenarios in virtual reality, in order to learn the specialised skills necessary to rescue human souls. The two angels are sent to Japan, to try and re-unite a young girl’s soul with her body, as she lies in a coma. It isn’t her time to die. In their quest for the soul, Mel and Reuben have to enter a realm that’s magical and exquisite, like an idealised Japanese fairy-tale dream. Feudal lords, fabulous magical castles, ninjas, wandering monks, waterfalls, demons and shapeshifters. But like all dreams, it has its dark side, and the Japanese afterlife has some extremely scary aspects. Mel and Reuben must stick together… and at the end, there is even a little hint of romance for our two angel buddies!
