So when her grandfather bequests a stone angel to her, Saffy knows she has to find it. Realising that her childhood in Siena holds the key, she secretly stows away on a car trip to Siena, with her new friend, Sarah. Meanwhile, the rest of her family are engaged in their own wacky projects. Caddy, a hopeless student, is studying for her A Levels and desperately trying to pass her driving test. Indigo, the sole boy of the Casson family, is determined to rid himself of this fear of heights. And the youngest, Rose, a budding artist, has a knack for baiting her pompous dad, with entertaining results...

one of my absolute favorites.
Suitable for young teen
This book is full of color and laughs. The best young adult book I've read in quite a while.
I love this book i couldnt put it down
A quite unbelievably eccentric English family, where every member is an artist and the four children are named for colors: Cadmium, Saffron, Indigo and Rose. Not sure if this is meant for children, teenagers or adults. Best to take it tongue-in-cheek.
I haven't read this book before, it never really captured my interest and I'm just clearing out my book shelf... hope you like it!
