Paradise High

They say that hell hath no fury like a woman scorned-but "they" haven't read this book yet. "Paradise High" is a sharp, witty, and somewhat flippant romantic comedy where the fury is a lot worse, because it comes not from a ticked-off girl, but from a ticked-off God.

God doesn't like what's been going on in the world: Hatred. Violence. War. Reality TV. It's just too much, so he's decided to put an end to it once and for all, and he dispatches teen angel Michael Night to bring Armageddon to earth.

But Michael finds himself at odds with God's plan. When he's captivated by a young babe-o-rama named Shelly Bloom, he can't imagine killing her or anyone else in the world.

So Mike asks God for a little time. He wants the chance to pursue Shelly and prove that humankind ain't so bad after all-and, if he can win Shelly's heart, that love just might save the earth from God's fury. But, then again, it may not. God moves in mysterious ways...and so do sixteen-year-old girls.

"Paradise High" is clever, clean fiction that's sure to entertain teen and young adult readers and youthful spirits of all ages.
