Hubert in Heaven: A Hi-tech Angel Gets His Wings by Barbara Roman begins with the newest group of Soon-to-be's sitting on their cloud pillows and listening to the Grand Transition Master on rules of conduct in heaven. He tells them being an angel is a responsible task and they have many tasks to perform before they earn their wings. As the Master is pointing to the screen and explaining, a four-star collision causes the screen to go blank. A little fellow comes tumbling in. The Master is annoyed that his lecture has been disrupted. The little fellow introduces himself as Hubert and tells them that he is a hologram in a video game and he wants to get back to his rightful place. The Master tells Hubert that, for the time being, this is his place and gives him some tasks. Will Hubert be able to perform the tasks, find his purpose, and finally get his angel wings?

The story is magical and has a lot of good messages for children, that life can be lived without always punching the keys of a computer, accepting that everyone is different, and that we need to value the abilities we have. The illustrations are beautiful and they add to the whimsical element of the story. It is a good story to help children understand about being unique and different, and the author does it with expertise using Hubert. It is a good bedtime storybook for children and can be given as a gift during the Christmas season. Tutors and educators can use it in classrooms and school libraries for read aloud sessions during the Christmas season as well as any time of the year

As Barbara Roman, I am the author of the children's books, "Alicia and the Light Bulb People in Star Factory 13" and "Hubert in Heaven - a hi-tech angel gets his wings" and "The Prince Who Was A Piccolo."

At once whimsical and magical, they are filled with deeper meanings that touch on spiritual and metaphysical philosophies. The characters are delightful and relatable, and there are many teachable moments about friendship, courage, self-esteem, bullying, and how to achieve your "star" potential through the magic of believing.

As B. Roman, I am the author of The Moon Singer Series, a YA metaphysical fantasy series (The Crystal Clipper, The War Chamber, The Wind Rose), as well as the prequel, "Before the Boy," and "The Immortal Rose Wyndham: The Beginning."

I have also penned the critically acclaimed suspense fiction "Whatever Became of Sin?" and "A Man's Face."

PULLING THE PLUG

Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2017

Hubert is a hologram in a video game being shot toward the moon. He misses the mark and finds himself in heaven instead. The Grand Master of the Transition works with newly arrived angels, assigning them tasks to achieve before earning their wings. Hubert depends on his computer. He finds himself a failure painting rainbows because he enhances the colors. The Grand Master patiently assigns Hubert a new task, that of choir director, but computer generated music from earth does not cut it in heaven. Hubert is given another job, the very important one of shining up the stars and preparing the Star of Bethlehem for Christmas. This results in the greatest failure of all. Will Hubert ever find his unique talent? Can he learn to fit in with the human inhabitants of heaven?

This book is a quick read. There are a few illustrations to assist younger children in following the tale and its lessons, but the story is more suited to middle grade readers. It serves as a reminder that each person possesses unique talents, if he is willing to work hard to develop them. The author reminds readers of what can be accomplished without computers; sometimes pulling the plug is not a bad idea.

Children are greatly influence by stories read to them and later by what they read. When reading a book for children, I look for the value of the story. In other words, I look for the moral value and what a child might learn from the story. Usually in a child’s book, those values are cloaked by the cute story, and the child learns them in a fun way.

Hubert in Heaven is a story about a non-human boy suddenly and accidentally ending up in heaven, where he believes he doesn’t belong. But there are rules in heaven to get accepted and they must be faced and worked through. This story shows how this different boy learns to take charge of his life and finally belong. It’s a story of overcoming life’s lessons, and finding we all belong. Hubert’s lessons and transition are motivational. I recommend this book for all young children and to parents who read to their children.

In this short book, Hubert is a hologram. At first, I thought that idea might be difficult for a child to comprehend, but children in our modern times never cease to amaze me. Barbara Roman’s title character, Hubert shows up in Heaven after a collision in a video game. Hubert is wearing an orange jumpsuit and has a computerized device in his hands. With Zen-like patience, the Grand Transition Master decides that even though Hubert is not meant to be there, he can be trained to find his purpose. There is however, one caveat: He has to figure out how to complete each of the challenging, but wonderful chores himself, without relying on his high tech gadget. He also has to follow tradition and cannot have help from others. This faithful but non-preachy story will remind all of us—young or old--to log off/disconnect sometimes in order to find our truest selves. The illustrations are divine, recalling storybook illustrations in my favorite childhood books. Will Hubert get his wings? Read Hubert in Heaven to find out. Even better, read it to someone young and sweet who will surely explain why computers are necessary when facing large assignments.

A shining light

Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2016

This is a sophisticated hi-tech tale for older children. Hubert is a hologram in a video game who was supposed to land on the moon and instead finds himself in Heaven. When he is asked to do a series of tasks, including paint the fading rainbows, Hubert turns to his computer for help. He isn’t used to thinking for himself. When his computer breaks he is advised to ‘be still’ and God would show him what to do. Slowly, Hubert’s little light began to shine. This is a feel-good story with a Christmas message that rings true all through the year. The illustrations are delightful. A quick read with an engaging storyline.

Great story, packed with tons of range

Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2022

Humans are all different. Then again, there are many different types of life forms. Exactly who or what is Hubert? What a fun story! I've read several of Barbara Roman's books (a wonderful author) who writes in many diverse books across multiple genres, including adult and children's fiction. Knowing I like the thought of angels and computers, I thought this might be a good book to read, and I highly recommend it. Roman knows how to develop characters that stick with you. Children can learn from different points of view and just have a good time enjoying the setting and plot. Looking forward to my next read from the author. Perhaps more science-fiction or fantasy?

Out of the box story, I liked the story line. I took it as a joke that characters in heaven have such human traits too:o) I d ask my kids to read it too when they are a bit older. I enjoyed it myself as a creative adult loving stories.

A beautiful tale!

This is an uplifting, inspiring, and unique story that children will love and gain confidence by reading.
Hubert learns valuable lessons—that we don’t need computers to live our lives, to believe in ourselves, and to trust in God for guidance. Another important lesson in the story is that we are all unique and have our own valuable traits. A beautiful tale!
