If you want a classic middle school popularity story with a funky paranormal twist, consider Shani Petroff's debut book. It's got the social angst that will appeal to middle school girls, with just enough crossover appeal that will sing for older readers.
I enjoyed Shani Petroff's take on the Devil, making him into a--dare I say it?--likable, sympathetic character. While older readers might sigh in exasperation at Angel's retrospectively painful desire for popularity, younger readers will easily sympathize with Angel's emotions and behavior in a Judy Blume-like way.
Overall, DADDY'S LITTLE ANGEL is a cute paranormal read. MG readers can read it alongside Judy Blume, while older readers looking for a light paranormal read won't do wrong in picking this one up. I'm definitely curious as to what happens next in the sequel, BEDEVILED: THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY DRESS!
