Only his younger sister and loyal sidekick, Rose, knows why he's dreading it so much. As it turns out, the school bullies are eagerly awaiting Indigo's return so that they can pick up where they left off -- flushing his head in the toilet. But Indigo hasn't counted on meeting Tom, an American student who is staying with his grandmother in England for the year. With his couldn't-care-less attitude and rock-and-roll lifestyle, Tom becomes Indigo's ally, and together they work to take back the school. Meanwhile, eight-year-old Rose is desperately trying to avoid wearing horrible glasses, nineteen-year-old Caddy is agonizing over her many suitors, Saffy is working overtime with her best friend, Sarah, to protect Indigo from the gang, and with their father, Bill, in London at his art studio, their mother, Eve, is just trying to stay on top of it all\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHilary McKay is the award-winning author of \u003ci\u003eThe Time of Green Magic\u003c\/i\u003e (which received five starred reviews), \u003ci\u003eThe Skylarks' War \u003c\/i\u003e(which was a \u003ci\u003eBoston Globe\u003c\/i\u003e Best Book and received three starred reviews), \u003ci\u003eBinny Bewitched \u003c\/i\u003e(which was a \u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews \u003c\/i\u003eBest Book of the Year and received two starred reviews), \u003ci\u003e Binny in Secret\u003c\/i\u003e (which received three starred reviews), \u003ci\u003eBinny for Short\u003c\/i\u003e (which received four starred reviews), and six novels about the Casson family: \u003ci\u003eSaffy's Angel\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eIndigo's Star\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Permanent Rose\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCaddy Ever After\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eForever Rose\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eCaddy's World\u003c\/i\u003e.
