Publisher Description

It's back to school for the start of a new term. Indigo's returning after a bout of glandular fever and is dreading it. Rose is worrying about Indigo--and her new glasses. Saffy is busy dictating Rose's homework answers, while Caddy agonizes over ways to dump her current boyfriend. And their mother, Eve, is busy trying to dry her latest painting with a hairdryer. Some things never change. But this term Tom has joined Indigo's class. And that will make all the difference . . .

"There is a lot going on in this novel and many characters, but McKay juggled it well. It is never too much. All of the Cassons, Sarah, and Michael are back in this volume. Tom, a new character, joins the melee'. He is a friend of both and Indigo and Rose, who has family issues of his own. Rose rather annoyed me in the first book, but it in this one I enjoyed her more. I wanted to scoop her up and hug her. I also wanted to throttle the parents at several points (a recurring theme). My favorite part of this book was Indigo though. It was wonderful watching him grow and stretch himself. This did seem to be more of a Rose story overall though."

    " This is the second book about the dysfunctional, but extremely real, Casson family. I find Mckay's books refreshing, and I always laugh at how real the situations the characters find themselves in are. This is my favorite book by Mckay, told through the eyes of Indigo, the only boy of the Casson children, as he learns to deal with bullies, and with friends. "

    " I grow more and more impressed by Hilary McKay. The Casson family, and the crew they pull into their orbit, are so well-drawn, so convincing and memorable, so endearing and obviously loved by their creator, that it's sad when any book ends. "

    " A generally sweet story about a large family and a few troubles they help a friend through. I would recommend it to fans of the Penderwick chapter books (by Jeanne Birdsall) who have grown up a bit and are ready for a story with bullies and a small amount of violence in it. "

    " Not quite as charming as the first,though I enjoyed reading it. I really liked Indigo and loved Rose, but the family disfunctionality was more painful and annoying than Saffy's Angel--because it was pushed more to the foreground. "

    " Loved book number two in the Casson Family series. I can't decide if I want to be a Casson or a Penderwick. I did listen to this one and it was very good, except the actress (who is british) had a difficult time with an american accent. Can't wait to read number three! "
