Indigo's Star
by Hilary McKay
Review this book!
After enjoying a peaceful semester at home with mono, surrounded by his nutty, artistic family, 12 year-old Indigo Casson must return to school and the intimidating bullies that await him. His fierce sisters, little, bespectacled Rose, and older Saffy, are furiously trying to protect him with a letter writing campaign to lure their absentee father home (Rose), and through the more physical means of hair-pulling (Saffy). Indigo finds solace in another baited boy, Tom, an American with an appealing devil-may-care attitude. A companion to SAFFY'S ANGEL, winner of the 2002 Whitbread Children's Book Award.

Publisher Notes
Fearful of facing the bullies of the Casson family upon returning to school from a long period of illness, Indigo finds support in his friend, Rose, his younger sister, and the unexpected friendship of a carefree American boy who decide to work together to put an end to all the bullying once and for all.
Media Reviews
"Plot threads and characters mesh satisfyingly--and, as ever, McKay's dialogue, the novel's essence, is brilliant. Readers submerged in the happy din of the family's conversations will wish they could by adopted by the Cassons."
Synopses
Spurred on by his youngest sister, Rose, twelve-year-old Indigo sticks up for himself and an American boy who has replaced him as the primary target of the school bullies.
