The Revolting Holiday

A week in a holiday camp with Mrs. Bayleaf? Torture! Out of desperation, Katie seeks refuge in the Kids Klub, where she takes a particular dislike to an irritating girl named Antonia, who can’t stop bragging about how her family wins all the competitions. Katie would love to wipe the smile off Antonia’s face. Perhaps Katie s family, and even Mrs. Bayleaf, might come in useful after all. Well, there s nothing wrong with a bit of healthy competition, is there?

Ghoul At School

A ghost appears to be on the loose in the school where the flighty angels are still pretending to be ordinary pupils. Life for the girls is further complicated by an archangel determined to take them home, a rather embarrassing incident in cooking class, and Marcy, a rather unpleasant fellow pupil who is getting dangerously suspicious about the two new girls.

Round the Rainbow

The angels are shooting back to heaven on a rescue mission to snatch back Sister Bertha, who was spirited away before her time. Not content with rescuing nuns, the angels must also single handedly save St. Winifred’s School from ruin by winning a talent competition.
