Mitzi Malloy and the Anything-But-Heavenly Summer
by Wendy Markham
This first-ever digital edition marks the 20th anniversary publication of New York Times bestseller Wendy Corsi Staub’s whimsical middle grade series. Initially published in print in 1995 by Kensington Books, MITZI MALLOY AND THE ANYTHING-BUT-HEAVENLY SUMMER introduces a quirky quartet of Teen Angels who must earn their wings by helping regular kids who are wrestling earthly problems. In this debut title, middle schooler Mitzi Malloy is facing the worst summer of her life. Too broke to even run away from home, with her best friend away at camp and her parents’ separation looming, she’s convinced it would take a miracle to turn things around. Enter Maddie, an enigmatic older girl who takes Mitzi under her—ahem—wing. But even she can’t perform miracles…can she?
