"Funny and clever! Journey through Jesus final week and discover the true meaning of Easter!"
Bob Hartman, Author & Storyteller

There’s great excitement as Jesus arrives in the city of Jerusalem. Gabe is excited too - as a newly-qualified Guardian Angel, he is thrilled to have the honour of escorting Jesus on this most wonderful day; a day that will mark the beginning of the most important week of Jesus’ time on earth. (Quite why it’s so important, Gabe doesn’t know. For some reason, the details are being kept top, top-secret.)

But what he does know is that he’s going to have his hands full - because there are enemies in the crowd… shadows lurking in the background… and there’s a traitor in their midst.

Can Gabe keep Jesus safe? And if he doesn’t, will it really be the end of the world? Or will it be something far more wonderful and surprising?

‘Angels Surprise’ is a fun-filled, imaginative and moving adventure for 7-11 year olds that travels through the events of Holy Week and celebrates the true meaning of Easter.
About the author
Mike Peacock was born and bred in Manchester, where he originally trained as an actor. He spent many years working for a variety of different theatre companies, before forming his own, Rhema Theatre Company, in 2001. He has written & performed more than 40 different shows for the company, which have been enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of children all over the UK. He has also written & directed a number of short films, which have featured at a number of festivals and also been nominated for several awards. He wrote the children's book, ‘Boris The Robot’, with Dave Hill for the organisation Heartsmart, and his story ‘When We Stared Singing’ was recently produced & filmed by M6 Theatre Company. ‘Angels Delight’ was Mike’s first novel, closely followed by the sequel 'Angels Surprise'. There's also a 3rd book featuring the characters of Gabe, Mikey & Phin in the pipeline - more of that soon. Continuing the theme of stories featuring angel characters, Mike created the book 'The Party in Heaven' for younger readers. It was inspired by the loss of a young family friend and is designed to help children talk about grief through the lens of faith. Mike also has some other works in the pipeline which don't feature angels at all. In his spare time Mike likes to juggle, play the guitar and teach Ju-Jitsu - although not always at the same time.
