<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Eight-year-old Rose Casson takes center stage in this delicious companion to "Saffy's Angel" and "Indigo's Star." A trip to London and a visit with Rose's father lead to a startling revelation, and Rose finds there may be a way for her to be happy again.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Feisty Rose takes center stage as the highly original Casson family faces a long, hot summer.</b> <p/> As usual, things are a bit chaotic. Eldest daughter Caddy is engaged to darling Michael, and she's not altogether sure she likes it. Saffy and Sarah are on a mission to find Saffy's biological father (while cultivating hearts of stone). Indigo is cautiously beginning a friendship with a reformed bully, who desperately wants to feel like part of the Casson family. Rose, while dreadfully missing Tom (whom none of them have heard from), enters into a life of petty crime, shoplifting small items until her misadventures nearly bring disaster. Through it all, Rose's single-minded determination to find Tom remains as fierce as it is hopeless. Or is it?<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Entertaining and heartrending. -- <i>Publishers Weekly</i>, starred review<br><br>Exemplary comic writing -- buoyant, perceptive, subversive. -- <i>Horn Book</i>, starred review<br><br>Wonderful. -- <i>Kirkus Reviews</i>, starred review<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Hilary McKay is the award-winning author of <i>The Time of Green Magic</i> (which received five starred reviews), <i>The Skylarks' War </i>(which was a <i>Boston Globe</i> Best Book, and received three starred reviews), <i>Binny Bewitched </i>(which was a <i>Kirkus Reviews </i>Best Book of the Year and received two starred reviews), <i> Binny in Secret</i> (which received three starred reviews), <i>Binny for Short</i> (which received four starred reviews), and six novels about the Casson family: <i>Saffy's Angel</i>, <i>Indigo's Star</i>, <i> Permanent Rose</i>, <i>Caddy Ever After</i>, <i>Forever Rose</i>, and <i>Caddy's World</i>.
