Description

Sixteen-year-old Delaney Delgado knows miracles arent realif they were, her kid sister wouldnt be dead. So when the image of baby Jesus appears on a Babybel cheese wheel, shes not buying the idea that Gods got a dairy obsession. Soon, religious signs begin turning up all over Dels hometown, tiny Clemency, Texas. Overnight, news vans fill the streets and religious pilgrims start searching for God in the discount aisle of the grocery store.

Hell-bent on proving the so-called miracles are fake, Del convinces her best friend, Gabe, to help her find the truth. While Gabes willing to play detective, as a preachers son hes more interested in finding evidence that supports the miracles. But when the whole town becomes caught up in religious fervor and even the late-night talk show hosts have stopped laughing and started to believe, finding the truth might cause more trouble than Del can handle. This novel is neither pro nor anti-religion, and will appeal to fans of contemporary YA novels that explore deep themes with an element of humor. The voice and characters are funny, strong, and full of heart. This is a book for anyone who loved Saved!
