She misses her dad, too, who lives in London with his new girlfriend. She's also worried about her brother Indigo making friends with a reformed bully, and she's afraid that her big sister Caddy will break off her engagement to the lovely Michael. She is upset that her good friend Tom, who returned to America in a hurry at the end of the second book, has not been in touch. This volume is primarily about the youngest child, eight-year-old Rose, who is going through rather a difficult stage. Intrigued by the delightful Casson family I bought the third in the series, 'Permanent Rose' in January, and have just finished reading it. I followed that by reading the sequel, 'Indigo's Star', a few months later. I read her excellent 'Saffy's Angel' about the eccentric Casson family last August, following the recommendation of another blogger. Not having any children at home any more, it's not often that I start reading children's books by authors I have not previously come across.
