Angels don't exist. If they did, argues James, "you'd see them on the news." His twin, Amanda, disagrees. She thinks the girl with the broken wing is of the guardian variety: "They're the ones who get sent to Earth to help people." But if Hilary's a real angel, how come she causes so much havoc? And would a real angel have such dirty feet? A perfect story for all the little angels who, like Hilary, don't always have their halos on straight!
