Indigo's Star by Hilary McKay

And once I get started on an interesting series, I like to keep going. This book is the second book in the series which, according to Amazon is now up to 4 books.

Again, the plot of this story wouldn't carry it by itself, but somehow I got quite attached to the characters. This story features Indigo, who, after a lengthy illness is finally able to return to school, but dreads doing so because of the gang of bullies in his class. He is rescued, somewhat uneasily, by the fact that there is a new distraction - an American boy, who has come to his class for the remainder of the term. This bold and rather fearless braggart eventually forms a friendship, first with Indigo, then Rose, and then with the whole family.

Upper elementary.
