I won this book from librarything member giveaways in exchange for an honest review.
Winging It is a book about an angel-in-training, ironically named Grace as she is very clumsy, who hates school and decides the best way to get around this is to go straight to a Mission on earth as a Guardian Angel. Full of bravado, she thinks this is the fastest way to get her wings and also skip a few steps along the way. She learns that her Mission is not as easy as it seems but makes good friends who help he...more

Words to describe this book? Cute, Cute, CUTE!
Grace isn’t the best angel in training but she wants her wings more than anything in the world.
When it comes time to declare a vocation, she ask the big man himself if she can skip school and go straight to being a Guardian on earth. Her first assignment is Tara, a grumpy teenager who has made friends with the wrong crowd.
Grace moves in as an exchange student with Tara’s family and quickly realizes this Guardian Angel stuff isn’t as easy as she thoug...more

This was a light fun story that will have you laughing for sure at the predicaments Grace gets herself into. You wont be able to help yourself because Grace is one of the funniest characters I think I have read in a while.
She wants her wings so bad but doesn't really seem to want to put in the "work" or effort to earn them. She basically begs for an assignment on Earth working with "the humans" as a Guardian to get out of her remaining angel in training school years "up there" because she thinks...more

Grace is a brash angel-in-training who's sick of school--and rules--and wants her wings like yesterday. On Declaration Day, Grace asks the Big Kahuna himself to skip the next few years of schooling and go directly to earth for an assignment as a guardian. Wouldn't ya know it...he agrees.
Grace's POV is more than refreshing, making light of mundane earthly things in a hilarious way. Though she always tries to do what's best, she never fails to get herself into the craziest of situations.

This has to be one of the best books I have read. the humor along the serious parts of this book make it unforgettable. I enjoyed reading how Grace made mistakes and eventually learned from them and how she knew what she wanted and went for it. I say this book is good for anyone who needs a good laugh and a different take on the traditional Angel story.
Angles! It was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G, amazing. I haven't read a book about modern angels in a long time. The book appealed to me in the first place though because at first I thought it was about gods and goddesses. You know like Hermes demigod children or something, but after reading the back I went berserk. I was like no~ then after reading the book I was thinking it was good. The book was better than most of the angel books I've read (probably because most are Bible stories which get boring), but also...more

I want wings!!!! Grace is an angel in training who doesn't like school but wants here wings. This book takes you on her journey to earth on her quest for that goal. She makes mistakes but she learns quickly. You will be truly happy reading this book.
Grace Lightbourne is an angel-in-training whose greatest desire is to receive her wings. As far as angels go—she’s definitely lacking one virtue—patience! She convinces her Boss to let her go on assignment without finishing angel school, resulting in a number of humorous escapades. My favorite parts were the tender and serious moments that were interspersed amid the humor and fun.

Most days she writes fiction or works on the kid-lit community website, http://www.whatchareadingnow.com, that she founded with two other w...more
