The Great Adventures of Sparky the Angel

Get ready for exciting, around-the-world adventures with Sparky the Angel and his friend Teddy! Sparky has orders from on high to challenge the young man to jump through holy hoops of human hazard, creating heroic moments and transforming Teddy from cancer patient into dream catcher. From the waterfalls of Venezuela, to earthquake-ravaged Haiti, to the busy streets of New York City, each adventure teaches lessons of trust, love, courage, obedience, faith, hope and spiritual peace.

The Great Adventures of Sparky the Angel is a story about the relationship between an angel and a youth hospitalized with leukemia. His celestial friend does more than open Teddy's eyes, he opens the skies! Hold on tight; their travels continue, from the golden beaches of Miami to staring eye to eye with a spitting cobra in the deepest jungles of Africa. Then Teddy gets to be one of the famed "bleacher bums" for the Chicago Cubs on opening day of the major league season, just before he visits the White House and surprisingly meets his new love in the Oval Office. Then Sparky takes him to the bedside of his dying friend Kirby Jones, where he learns truths that change his life.

Does Teddy live, or does he finally lose his fight with cancer? This book will enrich and entertain 4th through 8th graders, but it is especially written for all children and teens who are struggling with a terminal illness.
