CASSIDY, CATHY
Indie`s mum loves the colour blue. Blue is the colour of her favourite things bluebirds, bluebells, the sky. So much so that she named her children Indigo and Misty shades of blue, special colours, magical colours. Indie loves her mum. But blue isn`t always a happy colour and there`s a lot of sad stuff in her mum`s life. And now suddenly she wants them to run away from their lovely house and leave Max mum`s fella behind. Indie doesn`t know why. Or where they`re going. Or how to tell her friends. In a dingy old flat with a grumpy neighbour, no heating and only biscuits to eat, Indie begins to realise that her mum`s got a secret a reason she really needed to get away. Indie mustn`t let her go near Max again or something terrible will happen. A powerful, moving and tender book about love, family, domestic violence and what it feels like to get the blues.
Cathy Cassidy (1962) va escriure el seu primer llibre quan tenia vuit anys i després ja no ha parat. Creu que el millor és escriure sobre el que t'agrada més, i com no hi ha res al món que li agradi més que la xocolata... va tenir la idea de fer una sèrie de llibres anomenada The Chocolate Box Girls. La Cathy viu a Escòcia amb la seva família. Ha exercit diversos oficis, però el millor de llunys per a ella és ser escriptora, perquè és l'únic ofici que li dóna una bona escusa per somiar.
