Saffy's Angel

Yesterday I started reading the fifth Casson book called Forever Rose. It is quite good so I decided to come on here, but instead of reviewing the fifth book I'll start with the first.  Before I start the book is called Saffy's Angel, and was written by Hillary McKay. OK here goes!

Summary: 

Saffy's Angel is the first Casson family book. The story takes place in the UK and follows fourteen year old Saffron. When Saffron was a baby her mother died and she was adopted my her aunt and uncle, she lives with her cousins who are more like brother and sisters to her. Her siblings consist of Indigo, Caddy, and Rose. When the children's grandfather dies, Saffy is left with an "Angel for Saffron" in his will, no one really understands what it means, but Saffron is determined to find out. A few days later Saffron is introduced to the "wheelchair girl" or Sarah. Sarah is Saffron's neighbor, but they had rarely seen each other. Sarah has weak legs and is there for in a wheelchair, but that doesn't stop Sarah from doing just as she pleases. Saffron confides in Sarah about her angel, and she to becomes determined that Saffron find her Angel. Together the girls end up going to Italy, the place Saffy lived as a baby. Will they find her Angel? Will they discover more of Saffron's past?   

Review: 

This book has a wonderful honesty about it that is not often found in books. The splendid work of Hilary McKay will keep readers entranced till the end and beyond. This story is a true tale of friendship, family, and finding yourself. 5 stars! 

Recommendation:

I'd say readers anywhere between ages ten and fifteen would be enthralled. This book calls to both boys and girls, but is probably slightly ore interesting to girl readers. This book is a must read!
