Angel’s Grace, by Tracey Baptiste, is a great book about a young girl struggling with an old photo. Set in Trinidad, Gracie and her younger sister Sally are away from their home in New York to spend the summer with their Ma. This photograph, found in Aunty Jackie’s photo album, uncovers a mystery that unfolds answers for Gracie. Gracie has a unique birthmark above her heart, almost like the touch of an angel. In the photo, she sees a picture of a man, who has the exact same birthmark! As Gracie and her younger sister Sally, along with a new friend, Raj, plan a party for the return of their parents for the end of the summer. They notice that finding the man in the picture would be quite a task, and the end result would surprise everybody!

        I enjoyed this book, Angel’s Grace, because in the story, Gracie, one of the main characters, is around my age. I found it hard to stop reading, because the suspense and mystery was just overwhelming! In the story, I pictured myself as Gracie, with her unruly red hair, and her non-fitting appearance compared to the rest of her family. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a little bit of mystery mixed in with a lot of suspense, mostly girls in their early teens, like Gracie. The characters in Angel’s Grace almost have a life-like form, making them believable to the reader. I haven’t read anything similar to this book before
