Description:
"Maura's Angel" is the tale of young girl in Belfast, Northern Ireland, whose life, like the lives of everyone around her, is a difficult one. When Maura is not in school, she's helping her mother care for two younger brothers and a feeble older sister -- and missing her big brother, Kieran, a political prisoner, and her father, who's rashly gone off to fight with the Irish Republican Army.

Then, amid the hopelessness, in the wake of a bomb blast, Maura's angel appears. But what a peculiar angel: she knows nothing of the world, not even how to eat, or sleep, or talk. Yet she has a magical way with people, bringing moments of peace and hope into a world of violence and despair.
Once again, Lynne Reid Banks uses fantasy in a masterly way to cast a new light on reality, in a tale that will challenge, delight, and inform readers of all ages.
