In the church of Kerimäki (Finland), a seminar for guardian angels is held every year. Among the students is Ariel Auvinen, an angel as enthusiastic as he is clumsy, who fails his practical exercises. Even so, he is assigned to Aaro Korhonen, a responsible man who seems to need no help. Ariel will try to guide him along the right path.
Translation from Finnish by Anne Colin du Terrail. The original title is «Tohelo suojelusenkeli» (2004). This edition has 240 pages.
