Caddy Ever After by Hilary McKay

I was hoping that this book was going to be all from Caddy's point of view, but it's understandable that no ten-year-old wants to read a book about a twenty-year-old. As always, the Rose sections were wonderful, but it was strange to read about Saffy and Indigo all grown up with boyfriends and girlfriends! However, anything in the Casson Family series is fantastic and deserving of five-stars. Rose's stories made up for any of my complaints :)

This is the fourth in a series of award-winning books about the eccentric Casson family in modern-day Britain. The parents are both artists, and live separate lives. Father (Darling Bill) is studious, neat and professional, and very distant from his more rambunctious and untidy family. Eve, the mother, is very unmotherly in many ways, paying little attention to house-keeping or cooking, and very much letting the kids fend for themselves, though she is very loving and encouraging. This book revolves around the eldest, Caddy, who is getting over Darling Michael, and falls right in with Alex, who never quite achieves darling status. We see how the relationship develops through her eyes, and through the eyes of her younger siblings, Indigo, Saffron and Rose.
Laugh out loud funny.

This is at least the second time I've read this book. This one is a little weird in comparison with the other books in the series. Its called [b:Caddy Ever After|402036|Caddy Ever After (Casson Family, #4)|Hilary McKay|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1349000125s/402036.jpg|1124501], but its barely about Caddy until the end. And the story through the point-of-view of all four of the Casson kids throughout the story. I struggled through Rose's first section, but once I hit Indigo's part of the story, I flew through the book and I was reminded of why I love these characters so much in the first place.

Oh, I can't express how much I love these books. Every single one of the Casson children has my heart. The new use of first person perspectives didn't work so well in this one, but my love for the Cassons is undimmed. And, an ending that makes me immediately want the next installment...

Rose actually isn’t my favorite Casson, so I found this book a bit more annoying than anything else.
