Always Angel
Are you ready to meet Angel? 🧁🧡
She’s bold, misunderstood, and about to steal your heart.
Angel finds school hard.
She talks back to teachers, she storms out of lessons, and she’s had more detentions than any other Year 8 student...ever. But really, Angel wants to be good. She wants to fit in, she wants to make friends, and she even wants to win the school baking contest.
But it’s hard to be good when everyone expects the worst. And with her mum not well enough to look after her, and Angel making more and more bad choices, she’s starting to run out of chances...
Always Angel coming 12 February 2026
