While Hilary McKay adds a new adventure of the Casson children to her prior four successes, no previous familiarity is required to make Saffey's Angel engrossing for the complete newcomer. Saffy is an adopted child in a funny family; her beloved grandfather has died and left something to each of his grandchildren; but Saffy's present remains obscure and unidentified. Using her own vague memories and the persistence of a new wheelchair-bound neighbor, Saffy embarks on a journey to discovery not only her missing gift, but her true family heritage.
