The story ‘The Indigo Girls’, is about three totally different girls who have been going to the same camp (Camp Indigo) since they were nine. They were from different cliques and wouldn’t usually get along out of school but they were best friends: Zara, Meike and Tilly. They have been friends since they were nine, and Mieke always glues them together in their time at Indigo. But this time, Mieke could not attend Camp Indigo for the first week of their holiday this year. Zara and Tilly, both don’t know how to act in this situation. They both know their differences yet they try to get along. They put their differences aside. This book is suitable for teenage girls because the story can relate to friendship problems at this age.  I really enjoyed this book because it explains how a friendship is formed and the problems that they came across were common.

Every year, Zara, Tilly and Mieke, who all go to different schools and live in different social worlds, are the Indigo Girls, only this year, Mieke won’t be there until the next week. “The Indigo Girls” is a book about friendships and finding their true self. Penni Russon is the author of this book. “The Indigo Girls” is an interesting book because it tells you about real life and real emotions. This book is recommended for teenage girls.  This book is set at Camp Indigo, during the summer holidays. The setting is very convincing as it is set at a beach and is surrounded by forest, where you usually have camps. The character that really stands out is Zara because she’s popular but she’s not stuck up or mean. She’s popular in a good way. She can be friends with popular people and friends with the smart people, like Tilly. “Indigo Girls” is an amusing, girly novel, which is easy to read. Girls will relate to “The Indigo Girls” and will come away enriched. Personally, I liked reading the book. I thought that it was fun to read and was interesting. I would recommend this book to teen girls because it teaches you about friendships and it’s a good book to read. I would rate this book an 8 out of 10. Dana, Year 8

The Indigo Girls is a great book for girls that like to read about friendships and drama. I would recommend it for girls aged 12-14. Any younger and you might not understand and older you would probably think that it is boring. You would enjoy this book if you liked books such as ‘Matched’ by Ally Condie or ‘Secrets at St Jude’s’ by Carmen Reid. Zara, Tilly and Mieke go camping every year but this year Mieke can’t come. She was the one who kept them all together. Now she isn’t there. It is awkward at the start between Zara and Tilly. They are totally different people, as Zara is really pretty and popular and Tilly is smart and not as popular. They think that Mieke is  coming after one week but they don’t know if she is even coming for sure. There are a whole series of funny, interesting and dramatic events that happen, some for the better and others not so much. Monet, Year 8
