Indigo's Star is about a boy named Indigo. In the beginning of his school year, he gets mono and has to miss for awhile. After he recovers, he goes back to school and the mean kids start picking on him. He befriends a boy named Tom who came from America to get away from his family for awhile and to stay with his grandma. One day Indigo's sister, Saffy, and her best friend, Sarah, come into the school to get him so that he can go home with them. They see him being picked on by the rabble so Saffy and Sarah give them a piece of their minds. From then on the rabble never picks on Indigo anymore and goes right to his friend, Tom.
Tom teaches Indigo not to be afraid, and how to stand up to the rabble. When Tom finally has to go back to America because his sister got very sick, everyone is sad. For a present, Rose, Indigo's sister, gives Tom the guitar he had always dreamed of having.
