Request #151

 I have a patron searching for a YA novel, probably from the 80s or 90s concerning a 1950s cool “greaser” tough kid who dies in a car crash and is either reincarnated as a nerdy 80s kid or becomes a guardian angel for a nerdy 80s kid.  The patron says the book is similar to the 80s movie “The Heavenly Kid,” but is not that movie.  I don’t know of any novelization of that movie, but can find nothing with this plot for them.  Any thoughts? Suggestion: the novelization of the TV series “Teen Angel”, starring a pre-90210 Jason Priestly.
