About this title

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. Definetly a book to curl up with and enjoy in one single sitting. (Lesley Agnew, The Bookseller)

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)

SAFFY'S ANGEL:

'Saffy's Angel is a delight from start to finish ... a great feel-good book with characters you want to stay with for ever. Warm, beautifully crafted and always original, it's pure fun - a book to recommend without hesitation.'

A funny, exuberant story. (Carousel)

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)

It is a delight . . . McKay has a genius for domestic comedy. (Sunday Times)

McKay's strength lies in her understanding of young people and her ability to evoke them very simply. (The Guardian)

Her family seem to have given up on him, but Permanent Rose knows that where there's a will there's way - especially her will ...
