The Indigo Notebook by Lauren Resau
Delacorte Books for Young Readers, 2009.
From Thailand to Guatemala to Morocco, Zeeta has grown up traveling the world with her jet-setting mother. When Zeeta moves to Ecuador, she is determined to find a man for her mother and make her settle down into a normal, stable life. But new friends, a new boy, and a dangerously intriguing mystery send Zeeta on a journey that changes everything.
Although the mystery becomes a little too neatly wrapped up in the end, the likable characters, especially the smart and sassy Zeeta, and the exotic Central American locales will captivate readers, even reluctant ones. It is clear, that Resau has traveled a fair bit, and the travel elements of the book are delightful and wanderlust inspiring.
So in short: Good book. Exciting and fun travel elements… Strong female character with good wits and a winning personality. Girls will love it. This one did!
