Angels Unlimited
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Angels Unlimited is the title of a series of fictional novels written for young adults by the British author Annie Dalton. The books are based around the character Melanie Beeby, who died the day after her thirteenth birthday, and soon found herself at the Angel Academy in heaven. As of February 4, 2008 there are eleven novels, and three omnibus books.
The books are written in first person, focusing mainly around Mel, as the books are designed to have been written by her. The books also focus on Mel's best friends Lola (who Mel describes as her 'soulmate'), the heaven-born angel Reuben, known to friends as "Sweetpea" and later on, introducing the morally ambiguous Brice. Each book focuses on a particular time-traveling mission, which Mel embarks on mainly in groups, but in the later books, alone.

[edit] Winging it
Melanie Beeby is your typical girl who couldn't wait to turn 13. Unfortunately, the day after her 13th birthday, Mel is struck and killed by a joy-riding kid. Mel wakes up to find herself at the gates to the 'Angel Academy', surrounded by kids on their way to school. Here, she meets her soulmate and best friend-to-be, Lola Sanchez, who has a habit of giving everyone a nickname. Shortly after, Melanie meets Reuben, an angel who was never incarnated and therefore never set foot on Earth.
Mel soon joins the history club, in which members can travel back in time. The club's first trip is to England in World War II, where Melanie tries to save a young girl called Molly from the Opposition (the Opposition being those who wish to hinder the angel progress and deliver sorrow and hatred to the world). It is here that Mel first meets Brice, an agent of the Opposition who is dead-set on haunting Mel with his dashing good looks and evil presence...
