Casson Family: Indigo's Star: Book 2
Hilary Mckay
From the winner of the Costa Children’s Book Award 2018. Meet Saffy, Indigo, Rose and Caddy Casson. This colourful and hilarious series will make you wish you were part of the family!
Indigo’s going back to school after a long bout of illness. He’s not looking forward to it, the bullies are lying in wait. 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 from New York, loves music, makes Indigo laugh and is unfazed by the bullies. But Tom has troubles of his own – can the boys help each other out?
‘Warm, touching and hilarious’ Guardian
The first book in the series, Saffy’s Angel, won the Whitbread Children’s Book Award, and book 3, Permanent Rose, was shortlisted for the same award, celebrating McKay’s talent for conveying the anarchic bedlam of family life.

I enjoyed this book however I found the beginning a bit boring, however after a few chapters I was not able to put the book down. I like all the characters in this book however my favourite is definitely Rose as she has some momenta and features which are a bit similar to mine. I would definitely recommend this book to other readers if they do not mind the slightly boring start.

This book was very enjoyable I have also read Saffy's angel which is another fantastic book by Hilary McKay my favourite character is TOTALLY rose because she is friendly, loyal and funny. I find Rose's letters hilarious and I like the way that she is an EXCELLENT basher down of phones. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a bit of an unusual experience and enjoys laughing which I am sure everyone does!!!

Not as good as Permanent Rose or Caddy's world, but still really good. It was sad when Tom had to leave and you can see Indigo really cares about his younger sister. It made me more aware of physical bullying as well as verbal. Normally I think of bullying as verbal, as I have been verbally bullied many a-times. But it's harsh how Indigo was treated but nice how Rose stuck up for him!
