Indie Lee Chickory is not as cool as her big sister Bebe. Sure, she is an expert at making fish faces, but she is viewed as Fish Freak. And accidentally bringing her pet lobster to school on the last day doesn't help either, especially when it leads to her losing him and causing her sister embarrassment. So she wishes on a star to help her find her lobster and be friends with her sister again. Soon, it leads to a summer job working backstage at a community production and becoming friends with a nerdy boy named Owen, who helps on her quest to "be a better Indie."
This is great coming of age book for middle school readers, full of quirky characters and fun adventures. Similar to Beezus and Ramona, it is a perfect read for the beginning ( or end) of summer.
