Annie Dalton Books Overview

The Afterdark Princess

AFTERDARK has been invaded. Only weedy, whining Joe Quail can rescue the last Princess of Afterdark, imprisoned in the Palace of Nightfall. Joe doesn’t like Kit and Maisy. But his mother’s having a rare evening out, and Joe shares their babysitter Alice Fazackerly. No sooner than his mother leaves, Joe is whirled a desperate rescue operation. Alice, last Princess of Afterdark, is taken hostage by the Mighty Cosmo, Emperor of Nightfall and King of Afterdark. A magical map shows the obstacles which Joe must overcome to save them. Joe fears failure at each challenge on his journey to the Palace of Nightfall. With luck and gradually increasing confidence, he begins to realise he ‘wasn’t the wrong kind of boy but only needed the right kind of adventure to sort him out’. Joe finally meets the Mighty Cosmo to realise that as ever, his fear is out of proportion. He uncovers the local bully, Kevin, who admits he’d prefer company to power. Together they release Alice, leaving Afterdark and Nightfall united.

Tilly Beany Saves the World

A hole in the ozone layers, extinct species, dolphins in tuna nets…
Tilly can’t bear it. If only she could find the Cure For Everything.

Winging It

Mel isn’t your average angel. She certainly never expected to wind up at posh Angel Academy. Why would she want to learn about halos, when shopping is much more divine?But when she joins an elite group of time traveling angels fighting against the Opposition, she learns angel business is a lot more dangerous and a lot more fun than she ever could have suspected.

Losing the Plot

The second title about Melanie Beeby, the time travelling, trouble shooting angel. She’s feisty, witty, streetwise but definitely dead. She’s sent on a mission to Shakespearean England to make sure England doesn’t lose out on the man of the millennium! New look cover for an angelic series rebirth! Mel has now passed her exams to become a full member of the Agency the specialist team of trouble shooting, time travelling angels. She’s not always happy and often thinks about her life, and of her mother back down on earth. But when she, Lola her best angel friend and Reuben are sent on a mission to Shakespearean England, she realises that she must be fully alert and on the ball, if England is not to miss out on the greatest play writing talent the earth will ever come to know. A robust adventure for the angel team featuring pirates, smugglers, wicked 16th century plots and plenty of sweet words. Friendships are made and broken hearts too, in the second of these lively titles. AGE 10 12

Flying High

Even angels need to chill out, and Melanie’s been looking forward to Lola’s birthday beach party for weeks. So she’s not too pleased when Michael volunteers her for a medieval field trip. When the angels arrive, they stumble upon a time scam which could have serious repercussions for the Agency. They track the culprits back to their school in the 23rd century, only to find that the kids are being monitored for sinister Opposition purposes. Can Mel change something that hasn’t even happened yet?

Calling the Shots

Mel gets ‘the call,’ a strange, out of body experience that tells Angel Academy students that they are ready for their first guardian angel module. At first, it seems like a suitably fluffy assignment: 1920s America, full of flappers and limos, jazz and silent movies. But Mel’s got her hands full when she has to look after Honesty Bloomfield, a sullen, withdrawn girl who is traveling across the country with her family. They are bound for Hollywood but is it the city of dreams or nightmares?

Fogging Over

Mel has been teamed up for her new assignment in the 19th century with her best friend Lola and her worst enemy Brice! But tensions are put aside as they all witness a scene in the Australian outback, where an old convict lies dying, burdened with a terrible secret. Then suddenly they are transported to Victorian London, and Jack the Ripper is on the prowl. Foggy streets, gin shops, and smelly workhouses Mel’s really got her work cut out for her this time. The angels’ new mission is to watch over little Georgie and his sister Charlotte; the siblings are caught up in poverty and being duped by a wicked uncle with an eye on their inheritance. Could the old convict they saw be the key to saving Georgie and his family from ruin? As if that weren’t enough, working with Brice is getting harder for Mel because there’s something more than friendship developing between him and Lola.

Fighting Fit

After a hush hush trip to Ancient Rome, Orlando is clearly disturbed by what he’s seen. When he decides to go back with a team of volunteers, Mel loyally signs up. It looks as if this will be the mission of her dreams, but in the cruel, decadent world of Nero’s Roman empire, her fantasies crumble. Who is the mysterious girl gladiator Orlando seems to be trying so hard to protect? How did he come to meet her? Is his concern purely professional, or is it something more?

Making Waves

Lately rebel angel Brice seems to be behaving, so when Michael asks him and Mel to join on a mission to the 17th century Caribbean, she happily zooms off to pack her bikini. But the lush paradise of the New World has a dark side piracy, slave ships, cruel plantation owners. Then Brice bumps into an evil ancestor, and without warning he abandons his mates, running off to Port Royal, the wicked Jamaican city where pirates rule like kings. Can Mel save their maverick buddy or has Heaven’s favorite bad boy blown it for good?

Budding Star

Mel and Reuben have been studying Soul Retrieval, running through all manner of challenging scenarios in virtual reality, in order to learn the specialized skills necessary to rescue human souls. The two angels are sent to Japan, to try and reunite a young girl’s soul with her body, as she lies in a coma. It isn’t her time to die. In their quest for the soul, Mel and Reuben have to enter a realm that’s magical and exquisite, like an idealized Japanese fairy-tale dream-feudal lords, fabulous magical castles, ninjas, wandering monks, waterfalls, demons, and shapeshifters. But like all dreams, it has its dark side, and the Japanese afterlife has some extremely scary aspects. Mel and Reuben must stick together…
and at the end, there is even a little hint of romance for our two angel buddies!

Keeping It Real

Mel is thrilled to be sent on an urgent angelic mission back to her old school.

Graffiti, disobedience, bad behavior, and terrible grades aside, this school has problems. Invisible beasts from hell roam the corridors, and the students have completely lost sight of their dreams. When she finally sees her three best friends, she’s horrified to see how much they’ve changed. One has almost totally gone over to the Dark Powers, and worse still, this whole nightmare might be all Mel’s fault!

Going for Gold

As she travels to ancient Egypt to help an orphan girl carry a priceless perfume to Queen Cleopatra, she must watch her every step.
