Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Chelsea, 2008 Teen Demi-Goddess

Indigos life changes drastically when a stranger comes into Carreras, the restaurant where she works. After barely conversing with someone dubbed Vespa Guy, she finds herself two and a half million dollars richer. But, as Indigo soon finds out, money doesnt solve everything. And sometimes it can make things even more complicated.

Deb Caletti yet again creates a beautiful young adult novel in The Fortunes of Indigo Skye. I absolutely love her attention for detail her characters and the actions she gives them are so incredibly lifelike. She even gives attributes to the familys pet bird. It's not just about these particular characters, though. Deb has a certain understanding of humans in general, which makes her books that much more impacting. You can't help but fall in love with these characters; they're just too flawless and real.

Aside from the characters, Deb displays powerful messages throughout her writing. Some are subtle, and some are blatant, but theyre all of importance. I love how easily she can mix humor and depth into a novel, making it the perfect blend of YA goodness. This isnt the first novel of Calettis Ive read, and its certainly not the first to impress me, either.
