Product Description

Publishing News
INDIGO'S STAR: 'Another winning title from the inimitable Hilary McKay.'

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 20030606)

INDIGO'S STAR: 'Another winning title from the inimitable Hilary McKay.' (Publishing News 20030606)

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 20030606)

Praise for SAFFY'S ANGEL: 'Quirky and curious ... unforgettable. The central characters are strong, lovable - and unique.' (Nic Knight, The Bookseller 20030606)

'A funny, exuberant story.' (Carousel 20030606)

'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 )

5.0 out of 5 stars Good for boys - and girls - and grown ups!, 25 Nov 2005
By J. Kelly (Darlington, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I love all of Hilary McKay's books but this is the one I think would most appeal to boys as it focuses on teenage Indigo in the Casson family. It's part of a series (Saffy's Angel, Permanent Rose) but its not absolutely essential to read them in order. This one also tackles bullying very well (without the issue taking over the book or destroying the wonderful humour)and shows how Indigo survives it despite being a bit different thanks to a new friend.

If you enjoy this, try her Exiles series too although these would definitely appeal more to girls than boys as they focus on four sisters.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's a great book, 8 Mar 2005
By A Customer
Indigo's Star is about a family and their friends. It is very enjoyable. My favourite character is Rose, who is known as Rosy Pose. She is just like me, except she is 8 and I am 9.

5.0 out of 5 stars We love the Cassons!, 2 April 2009
By Mam&Emily (South Yorkshire, UK) - See all my reviews
My 9 year old daughter got 'Saffys Angel' from the school library and we loved it so much we've read the rest of the series. These books are about the ups and downs of the Casson family. This book is about Indigo, the only boy in the family. Its about friends and bullying mainly but it's not at all heavy. The Cassons have problems but they are dealt with. Our favourite character is Rose. By the end of any of the books the reader (and her mother) are left smiling and wanting more.
