Readers of Saffy's Angel will have already met the colorful Casson family, a gang of four sparklingly individual children burdened with not one but two artist parents. The focus here is on Indigo and his new friend Tom, an American boy temporarily in Britain. McKay tackles difficult emotional subjects here (the realignment of families, jealousy, violence) but with never a shard of earnestness or solemnity.
