Title: HEAVEN BY ANGELA JOHNSON

My 'reading'/book club class read this little novel by Angela Johnson and initially had a warm-cold kinda feeling for the book, but in continuing to read the letters back and forth between Marley and her Uncle Jack - questions begin to arise. Why was he so intent on writing to someone who didn't really know him? Why were Marley's parents taking care of him? When Marley begins babysitting, the students and I began to think that (predicting) something romantic might develop between her and Bobby, but no such thing occurs. The part of the story I wish they would develop was that of Marley's friend, but I suspect another novel for that as I was pleased to see that there's a new novel telling Bobby's story and how he ended up in Heaven.
