Indigo Donut by Patrice Lawrence
4.0
Indigo and Bailey...very different, with totally different backgrounds, but this story focuses on what they have in common.
Indigo is fed up of everyone thinking they know her. Sent from foster carer to foster carer, Indigo knows most people who meet her will immediately google her and discover she was found as a toddler by her mother's dead body and her father was imprisoned for the murder.
When the mean girls at yet another new school pick up on this and start giving her grief, Indigo expects to go it alone. But then we have Bailey. A mixed-race kid known for his ginger Afro and his 'cool' social worker dad, Bailey can't stand by and say nothing. After sticking up for Indigo on the bus one day Bailey starts to draw closer to her, and we're left wondering about the identity of the mysterious homeless man who seems to be following her.
A moving tale that explores family and identity.
Thoroughly recommended, and a huge thank you to the publishers and NetGalley for the ARC.
