What would you do with $2 million? What would you buy? Would the money change you? Do you think people would treat you differently? I’m not sure what I would buy with that much money, but I do know that I would love to find out. This is exactly what happens to Indigo Skye in Deb Caletti’s book The Fortunes of Indigo Skye. Indigo is a senior in high school and doesn’t know what she wants to do with the rest of her life. She has no interest in college and can only imagine herself working as a waitress. In fact, she loves her job waiting tables at Carerra’s. She is a fantastic waitress and thinks that she would like to do it for the rest of her life. Of course, Indigo doesn’t have too many choices because her mother does not have very much money and Indigo’s twin brother is very interested in going to college.
However, that all changes one day when a customer leaves Indigo a $2 million tip. Suddenly her life has changed and not necessarily for the better. Now she has to worry about what to do with the money. People start to treat her differently and she wonders if all they want from her is money. Maybe having that much money isn’t such a good thing. This is a great book about how Indigo deals with all the problems that come with being a millionaire.
