Product Details

<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In this devilishly funny look at the complexities of being a teen, Jenkins tells the story of an unforgettable--and irresistibly endearing--demon's sojourn on earth, where he learns more than he ever expected about humans and himself.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Don't call me a demon. I prefer the term Fallen Angel.</p><p>Everybody deserves a vacation, right? Especially if you have a pointless job like tormenting the damned. So who could blame me for blowing off my duties and taking a small, unauthorized break?</p><p>Besides, I've always wanted to see what physical existence is like. That's why I borrowed the slightly used body of a slacker teen. Believe me, he wasn't going to be using it anymore anyway.</p><p>I have never understood why humans do the things they do. Like sin--if it's so terrible, why do they keep doing it?</p><p>I'm going to have a lot of fun finding out!</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Funny and heartwarming. The demon's winning mix of cocksureness and inadvertent bungling should resonate with teens."--<em>Publishers Weekly</em><br><br>"Jenkins's writing remains lean, mean and to-the-point. Kiriel's search packs an intriguingly deep wallop."--<em>Kirkus Reviews</em><br><br>"Funny and clever. A quick, quirky and entertaining read."--KLIATT (starred review)<br><br>"Jenkins works magic on readers. Warm, heartening message of hope coupled with a little rebellion."--Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books<br>
