Angel in my PocketIlene Cooper2011

When Bette finds an angel coin among the money collected in a car wash, she puts it in her pocket and forgets about it. But things start to change, especially once Gabbi, a mysterious and kind new neighbor, moves into Bette’s building. Suddenly, Bette is able to face some big losses — her mother’s recent death, her sister’s departure for college — and move forward. And once the coin falls into the hands of three other kids in Bette’s class, their lives change, too. Soon, these two girls and two boys will be connected in ways that open them up to unlikely friendships and new ways to believe in themselves.
