Indigo’s Star by Hilary McKay (0-689-86563-5)
A second visit to the wonderful family in Saffy’s Angel, Indigo’s Star focuses more on the two younger children, Rose and Indigo and their friendship with an American boy who comes to spend the school term with his grandmother in England. The rest of the family is there as well, forgetful Eve, Caddy and her many suitors, Saffy and her best friend Sarah, and even the ever-absent father of the family, Bill.
If you enjoyed the first book, you will love this one. It has the same charm, humor and joy to it. It also has a wonderful cover, unlike the original book, reflecting the modern setting and the top of Indigo’s head.
Recommend this to boys and girls alike. It will lead them to the first one and hopefully get them past that cover.
