Have you ever wished that you could give up your nine to five and just travel the world, staying in all the most exotic places, learning to blend with the Otavala natives. Everyone dreams of a carefree life; abandoning all responsibility and just letting your chi flow. Everyone, that is, except fifteen year old Zeeta, who has spent every year of her life in a different country, with memories stored neatly in a stack of notebooks; a different color for every country that she’s lived in. All Zeeta longs for is a normal life, with Bar-B-Ques on Saturdays and family trips to the beach. When she makes a wish and things begin to change for her, she learns that there is truth to her friend Gaby’s advice to be careful what you wish for.
This colorful tale of The Indigo Notebook, by Colorado author Laura Resau, told through the distinguished voice of adolescence, in many ways, wise beyond her years. Indigo is the color for Ecuador, and through her adventures there, Zeeta learns some very important lessons about life and about herself. The journey to her revelations, as recorded in her notebook, will amuse and entertain readers of all ages. The characters are charming, unique individuals that will remain in the memories of readers for many days to come. This tale is a young adult adventure, with a humor, mystery and mystique thrown in to make a truly enjoyable read. The Indigo Notebook is scheduled to be in bookstores October 13th, 2009.
