Conspiracy, bullies, and campaigns! Angela Fournier is starting her junior year of high school at Sargasso Beach, Texas. Miles, who befriended her last year, asks her to be his prom date. Girls will be girls, except for when they’re mean girls; partnered with their friend, Leroy, they bully Angela and Miles, trying to ruin her special evening. Ignoring the bullies appears to be the biggest challenge until they unveil an unnerving situation that could affect the wellbeing of the entire town; doing something about it becomes a new mission which forces Angela to focus on the safety of her friends, family, and city. Angela and her friends start a campaign for a referendum to block construction, but the oil interests strike back, putting her in danger. Will Angela and her friends succeed in school, stand up to the bullies, and still manage to battle against the powerful companies that attempt to ruin their city? Angela 2: The Guardian of the Bay is the second installment of the Angela series.

About the Author:
After a varied career in language teaching in the US and Brazil, David Bedford has spent the last 17 years on the faculty of TCU teaching Spanish. It is a job he loves and he considers TCU a wonderful school. “The Angela series came to me,” says Bedford, “as three books on a lunch break during a Saturday workshop on getting published. I jotted down character sketches, locale, a story arc for all three books and a brief outline for each, all before time to return for the afternoon session. What can I say? Clearly it is a story begging to be told.” The first book, Angela 1: Starting Over (search for it by title) introduces the characters. In the second book Angela 2: The Guardian of the Bay, the story continues. Angela 3: Silver Path of the Moon will be released in 2014.
