Synopsis
Indigo's going back to school after a long bout of glandular fever. He's not looking forward to it, as he knows the bullies will be waiting for him. But he's determined to stand on his own two feet - so when Saffy and Sarah break up a fight in the boys' bathroom, he's furious. Until he meets Tom. Tom is over from the States for a term, staying with his gran while his family sort out their own problems back home. He loves music and joking and is unfazed by the bullies, slowly beginning to win the class round. He helps Indigo to challenge his fears, and in doing so is absorbed into the crazy Casson family and finds some answers of his own. Rose adores him and is determined to help him get the guitar he's been eyeing in the local music shop - but her attempts to help end in disaster, leaving only one way out: Daddy needs to come back from London to the home (and wife) he's been neglecting. Rose couldn't have an ulterior motive, could she?

Review
INDIGO'S STAR: 'as funny and compelling as her Whitbread-winning SAFFY'S ANGEL ... The unpatronising, open, thought-provoking ending leaves us eager for more. Definitely a book to curl up with and enjoy in one single sitting.' (Lesley Agnew, The Bookseller)
INDIGO'S STAR: 'Another winning title from the inimitable Hilary McKay.' (Publishing News)
INDIGO'S STAR: 'a welcome new instalment in the lives of the unforgettable Casson family, ... the characters of every Casson child go on developing. This is a rich vein; let's hope Hilary McKay will soon give Permanent Rose a book of her own.' (The Independent Magazine, July 2003)
Praise for SAFFY'S ANGEL:
'Quirky and curious ... unforgettable. The central characters are strong, lovable - and unique.'
(Nic Knight, The Bookseller)A funny, exuberant story. (Carousel)
Hilary McKay's strength lies in her understanding of young people and her ability to evoke them very simply. (The Guardian)
A real feel-good novel, McKay treats us once again to one of her brilliantly characterised families. This is a really lovely book. (The Bookseller)
Brilliant, funny, clever and kind. (Amazon.co.uk)
Hilary McKay excels in conveying the anarchic bedlawm of family life, and she has excelled herself in her marvellous novel, Saffy's Angel which deserves to be placed alongside such classics as Little Women and The Railway Children. (TES Primary)
Finding its place in a rather neglected area of children's fiction, Hilary McKay pitches the tone just right with a tale that is both funning and touching. (The Guardian)
From the Publisher
The sequel to Whitbread Children's Novel Award-winner Saffy's Angel, Indigo's Star tells the tale of her brother, Indigo, as he returns to school after a long absence. Another winning title from the inimitable Hilary McKay.
