Cloud Five by Deborah J. Oren Lowell

Dead. Dead at 16. Dead at 16 and in the WRONG part of Heaven. Just weeks before her 17th birthday, Brielle Kind and her best friend Ronnie died in a tragic car accident. Not only did Brielle (Bree to her friends and family) lose Ronnie “en route” to Heaven, she didn’t recognize anyone who came to greet her. Cloud Five. Guardian angel department. First lifers are not allowed. SO WHAT AM I DOING HERE??? Alone, afraid, and with little life experience to guide her, Bree has to depend on a group of guardian angels who seem much more human than angel, to help her find answers. These caring and quirky guardians quickly become family to her, and her young heart becomes involved when she meets two handsome angels who take her breath away! Meanwhile, there is growing darkness in the ranks of sinister fallen angels called the Force, and Bree’s earthly and heavenly families both, are in grave danger. As an epic battle of good and evil erupts, Bree realizes that not all are who they seem to be, and that she herself plays a crucial role in the conflict. Experience a fresh and emotion-packed story of a girl’s journey from Earth to Heaven and back again. Picture the majestic sequoias, taste the coconut-topped papaya, feel the electricity from the thunder storm, and believe in the spunky little nudgers. Root for Bree to be brave and strong, and to follow her gut instincts, as well as her heart. when it comes to love and survival.
