The Fortunes of Indigo Skye by Deb Caletti
5.0
This book would be a great contemporary parallel for teachers to offer to students alongside The Pearl. When Indigo Skye comes upon sudden fortune, she wonders if she can resist changing as a person. The characters around her all respond in different, interesting ways.
The writing is witty and clever. I was constantly laughing out loud. Indigo was relatable and authentic. I only have one complaint about this book. The purple, feminine cover is going to keep boys away from it, and I don't consider it to be a book that is only accessible to girls. A male narrator would have made the book just as successful.
