![]() ![]() Plotwise, I enjoyed watching Indie slowly come to a sense of herself and what it truly means to be yourself. I found myself wishing that I could visit this place. I could almost feel the fresh ocean breeze or taste the delicious candy or feel the sand beneath my tows. Moulton does a fabulous job creating a believable setting. Owen adds a sweet and sensitive note to the book and more than once I wanted to give him a great big hug. Part of me understood completely where both girls were coming from (the kid side of me) and the adult part of me winced at some of the poor decisions that were made. Both Indie and her sister Bebe are sympathetic characters, but at times I found myself torn. Before long however, she is hiding things from her family and pretending to be someone she isn't comfortable with. For Indie, after making a wish and 'tracing' her favorite constellation, she believes she is making progress. I think most human beings have a desire to be better than we are. ![]() She desperately wants to be a better person, one who doesn't embarrass her sister or lose family pets (a lobster). ![]() Indie is a very endearing, but flawed character. The characters, the setting, the plot, the whole thing. Things come to a head, Indie realizes that being true to yourself is ![]()
