Indigo Blue

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." But Indie is not about to show anyone how it really feels, especially not her best friend, Jo. "I tell her how we cleaned the whole place from top to bottom, then decorated till every surface was bright and fresh and clean. I tell her about the bookshelf with the rainbow stripes, and the polka-dotted drawers."The truth is, the neighborhood is bad, there's not much heat and little to eat, and 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.
