The Fortunes of Indigo Skye

e-book


Eighteen-year-old waitress Indigo Skyeā€™s life is upended when a mysterious man leaves her a multi-million-dollar tip in this funny and moving novel by Printz Honor medal winner and National Book Award finalist Deb Caletti.

I suddenly see where Iā€™m standing, and thatā€™s at the edge of changeā€”really, really big change.

Eighteen-year-old Indigo Skye feels like she has it allā€”a waitress job she loves, an adorable refrigerator-delivery-guy boyfriend, and a home life thatā€™s slightly overwhelming but rich in love. Until a mysterious man at the restaurant leaves her a 2.5 million-dollar tip, and her life as she knew it is transformed.

At first itā€™s amazing: a hot new car, enormous flat-screen TV, and presents for everyone she cares about. She laughs off the warnings that money changes people, that they come to rely on what they have instead of who they are. Because it wonā€™t happenā€¦not to her. Or will it? What do you do when you can buy anything your heart desiresā€”but what your heart desires canā€™t be bought?

This is the story of a girl who gets rich, gets lost, and ultimately finds her way backā€”if not to where she started, then to where she can start again.
