Life’s not so good for ten-year old Angeline. Her family ignore her in favour of her football mad brother while school is not much better. There she spends her time being tormented by a pint-sized hard nut with a penchant for big dresses while also fending off advances from the class lothario. To find an escape from all this madness she looks for a bit of heavenly inspiration.
