Indigo Blue by Cathy Cassidy.

Indigo's mum loves the colour blue - it's the colour of all her favourite things. When mum announces that ther're moving - just Indie, mum and baby Misti - Indie doesn't understand. Why the hurry? Where are we going? Will her best friend Jo, still be there for her?

In a dingy old flat with a grumpy neighbour, no heating and only biscuits to eat, Indie begins to realize that her mums got a reason for running away - a secret no one can admit...

I wold recommend this book to any other girls because it is a fantastic book i enjoyed very much.

This book is about a girl called Ginger Brown and what she goes through since she was in primary - to year 8. When she was eight years old, she was bullied for being overweight and ginger, she hates her name and just wants friends, and is highly embarrassed at her eigth birthday party by two girls. But two other girls, Meg and Emily croft actually are niec to her at her party.

Then in year eight, Ginger is taken in by a girl who is very popular called Shannon. Shannon bosses her around and turns her into something that she isn't.

Ginger ends up talking to this boy called Sam Taylor. She ends up really liking him, and he really likes her, but ginger is afraid that Shannon wouldn't approve.. well she KNEW she wouldn't.

Then Ginger and Shannon take on a task of helping out Emily Croft turn into a cool looking girl, like shannon and ginger, were every boy will fall at their feet, ginger gets jelous but realises that Emily is going through what she went through years ago, but that was her past, she was hiding it from everyone.. even her 'bestfriend'.

They make a s'cool magasine with they're new cool english teacher, mr Hunter. And shannon has a crush on the teacher and invites him to her birthday party. where things get out of hand. Shannon gets drunk, fights happen, pictures that were private were taken, and other stuff.

I would reccomend this book to anyone who likes reading books along the lines of 'teen crisis' stuff.

I give this book ***** five starts :)
