Do you like to get email? If you do and find it interesting to read emails, you will like Jordon Mink. He got an email from heaven. He must leave this earth immediately. The emails come from Barth Penn who lives in heaven. Barth is assisted by all different angels who are trying to convince Jordan to come to heaven. Its only Barth who talks to Jordan but the angels give him advice.

Can you imagine his response when opening up his email. He goes through four months corresponding with Barth. There are blank pages in between some of the emails because Jordon does not reply to his email partner. Jordon was undergoing some medical treatment.

"barthpenn@heaven.org" is a very interesting book for young readers who like fantasy books. Their story is told by reading each email and seeing just how the story develops on and on. I read this book in 2 days, it was so exciting. Its definitely a book which you can't lay down until you are finished with it.

You never know what might end up in your inbox. But you definitely won't get any from heaven like young Jordon did!

Alison has made a very special friend. She has gotten the chance to meet her own personal angel. Her dog Amigo has also gotten to meet his. Alison's mother doesn't believe that Alison has ever met her angel, until she meets her herself. Her angel has a problem and only Alison can fix it.

She must meet the creator of the angel and request something very special. Her angel is in a bubble and there is only one way to correct that. She, Amigo and 2 other friends travel up a high mountain to get closer to God. They also have to climb upon a rainbow.

Melisa Eyuboglu has written and illustrated a beautiful book for kids. This book makes children use their imagination and wonder what they would ask God for if they ever got to meet him face to face. The illustrations are pencil-like drawings with watercolors. Without the fancy drawings in some books, these will have children really understand the story.
I hope Melisa writes more books about the adventures of her and Amigo.
