Indigo Blue is another favourite of mine. Indie loves to daydream, she's an 11-year-old who lives with her mum, little sister Misti, and her mum's boyfriend, Max. Indie's mum and Max fight a lot, but she trys to ignore it. So when her mum suddenly announces one day that they're moving house (and leaving Max behind) Indie is confused. She doesn't know where they are going or why they are in such a hurry. But her mum has a good reason for going away, one that Indie has worked out, but doesn't want to believe. Their new house is old, without electricity and with little to eat, but the family of three manage to make it a home. Indie's not sure if life will ever go back to normal again. She seems to be taking care of everyone else. And while all this is happening, she's losing her best friend too.
In this book Cathy touches on a few different family and growing up issues, a lot of readers can really relate to her books.
I think that Indigo Blue is different from her other books, but I love everything about it. This story can be sad, but it's also completely heart-warming and hopeful. This book is about dreams too. Indigo has always daydreamed about a perfect life and perfect scenarios. And even thought what they have isn't near perfect, they manage to get through by loving and caring for each other and moving on from the past.
This image is of my notebook when I was writing the review, I started again so many times! I had to keep crossing them out and it was all a mess in the end. Oh the life of being a writer!! Ha.
