Work detailsIndigo's Star by Hilary McKay (2003)
None. Second Casson book. I did like it, especially Michael and Caddy, and Tom. [Nov. 2010] (  ) maureene87 | Apr 4, 2013 |  A sequel to Saffy's Angel. The delightfully quirky Casson family is held together by its children, not their vague and oft-absent parents who, in some ways, are a bit unbelievable. I love Indigo, the kindest 13-year-old boy I've heard of. He lets his 8-year-old sister, Rose, tag along with him and loves his two older sisters just as much. He befriends an American boy in school and defends him from bullying even before he knows him because it is the right thing to do. The book says much about family, especially irregular families. The Cassons adopt all number of people into their midst, from Sarah, the rich neighbor girl to Michael, one of eldest sister Caddy's many boyfriends to Derek, another boyfriend and fixer of plumbing and electronics. At the end, Tom, the American boy, realizes he can accept his stepmother and stepsister into his family because of the time he spent with Indigo and Rose. A feel-good novel that address tough issues in an unsentimental way.
