Feisty Mel the trainee time-travelling angel is back for her fourth adventure! And this time, it's1920s Hollywood that needs her special touch...New-look cover for an angelic series rebirth! Mel gets the Call -- a strange out-of-body experience which tells Angel Academy students that they are ready for their first guardian angel module. At first, it seems like a suitably fluffy assignment -- the America of the 1920s, full of flappers and limos, jazz and silent movies. But Mel's got her hands full when she has to look after Honesty Bloomfield, a sullen, withdrawn girl who is travelling across America with her family. They are bound for Hollywood -- the city of dreams, or nightmares?

Customer Reviews
Annie Dalton does it again.
I read to a group of children at a home, and by far their favourite stories are the (now) four books in the "Angels Unlimited" series. This book not only kept the youngsters enthralled for 3 hours, but opened up a series of questions regarding historical events with the children. All in all, another well written book from Annie Dalton
An exellent read
This book is definatley worth a read. It is part of a series but makes sense on its own. The series is about a teenage angel (Melanie Beeby). In this particular book Melanie has to be a GA (gardian Angel), she is sent back to 1920 earth and has to help a young girl get over the loss of a family member. This may sound easy but with the opposition aka powers of darkness not far away it could be harder than it sounds.
The 4th book in the series and it's still brilliant
Honesty is a spoilt rich kid untill something happens, that turns her world upside down and it's up to mel to save her.
Mel is sent on a solo mission to 1920's USA, which is a huge deal for her.It's been her dream ever sice she became an angel but she gets anxious about having to fight the PODS all by herself.
