Summary: Water isn't everything
Comment: Indigo by Alice Hoffman is a phenomenal book that is about three kids named Martha, and brothers Trout and Eel. Martha and the brothers live in a place called Oak Grove which is nowhere near water and all of the people in the town except for Martha, Trout and Eel, are scared of water because of a nasty flood. Because the brothers aren't afraid of water and have webbed hands, the townspeople think they are wierd. In the three kids' search for water, they go on a journey for only one night, because it started raining then flooding and they were worried about their loved ones. When they got back to town, they found the town had flooded and the people were on their roofs. Then Trout and Eel become heroes by saving the town, even though they were outcasts.

Summary: Indigo October 19
Comment: I think Indigo, by Alice Hoffman, is a interesting book. This book made me think, what was going to happen next, and also made think why were the people so scared water, was it, because of a terrible flood that only happen 15 years ago?
This book Indigo is about a girl named Martha Glimmer and her two best friends Trevor (Trout) and Eli (Eel) Mcgill, who lived in Oak Grove. Martha is a girl that hated people that pittied her after the death of her mother, she especially did not like Hildy Swoon there neighbor who started bring casseroles after the death of her mother's death. Martha also hated the weather at Oak Grove it was always spring. Trout and Eel had different characteristic than a normal child would have, they have fingers and toes that were webbed, and Eel looks like a water snake. Kate and Charlie Mcgill, who were on vacation at Ocean City and also wanted children, founded Trout and Eel. Kate and Charlie Mcgill who were at the Ocean at night and saw a mermaid with her two children, the mermaid was hurt by a motorboat. When Charlie and Kate Mcgill saw the hurt mermaid they went and got her. The mermaid said, "Please take them", and then mermaid swam away. When Charlie and Kate returned they to Oak Grove they had two childs. Kate and Charlie decide to call the older child Trevor, and the younger child Eli. When Trevor went to school kids made up a nickname for him called, "Trout", because of his fish like characteristic, and kids also made up a nickname for Eli called, "Eel" for the same reason. Trout and Martha were both lonely, and with no friends. Pretty soon they have known each other, then they became great friends, then Trevor introduced his brother Eel to Martha and also became good friends. Soon the friends decided to go to Ocean City, a place by the Ocean. Trout and Eel wants to go, because it had always been a dream for them both, to go to the Ocean. Martha wanted to go, because of getting away from her neighbor Hildy Swoon, and she has always dreamt of going to important places like San Francisco, New York, and Paris. On there way to Ocean City, it had started to rain harshly, and Martha broke her arm. This made the trip stop and made Martha, Trout, and Eel go back to Oak Grove. When they arrived back home at Oak Grove there was a huge flood, and using there fish like characteristic Trout and Eel starts saving the people of Oak Grove.
I think that the author is trying to tell us that it doesn't matter how someone looks, they can still be a good friend. This book is worth reading, because it shows great friendship.
This book should have been longer.
