Indigo Blue — Cathy Cassidy

Sometimes things get a little worse before they get better. . . .

Indigo's mum has had it with her boyfriend, and has moved her girls out of their cozy home and into "the flat from hell." Indie is not about to show anyone how it really feels, especially not her best friend, Jo. But the truth is, the neighborhood is bad, the heat's useless, and there's little to eat. It's hard for Indie to ignore such a drastic change -- but with a little sister who's too small to understand, and a mum who's feeling desperate, Indie is the one who's got to take charge.

Indigo Blue is a powerful, moving, and tender book about love, family, domestic violence -- and feeling blue. As always, Cathy Cassidy's characters are delightful and real.
