About this audiobook
An exciting new series from the acclaimed author of Red Glass.
Zeeta's life with her free-spirited mother, Layla, is anything but normal. Every year Layla picks another country she wants to live in. This summer they're in Ecuador, and Zeeta is determined to convince her mother to settle down. Zeeta makes friends with vendors at the town market and begs them to think of upstanding, "normal" men to set up with Layla. There, Zeeta meets Wendell. She learns that he was born nearby, but adopted by an American family. His one wish is to find his birth parents, and Zeeta agrees to help him. But when Wendell's biological father turns out to be involved in something very dangerous, Zeeta wonders whether she'll ever get the chance to tell her mom how she really feels-or to enjoy her deepening feelings for Wendell.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A book with a flaky artist mom who quotes Rumi every five seconds, what's not to like about that? Zeeta's voice rings absolutely true, and the trajectory of growth for her during the course of this novel is excellently done. Resau's a good writer and a canny plotter. Her characters are very real and for me, very easy to love. I enjoyed this one very much, and am off to read the next one now.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It feels so good to return to Laura Resau. I love how her books balance conflict with innocence. They make a great cusp between middle grade and YA lit. I love how each book reflects just how profoundly Central and South America made an impact on her--there is such a delicious sense of place in each. In The Indigo Notebook, the plot was perhaps a bit see-through, but I was still glued to each page. I loved most Zeeta's character development--I understood each step of her desire for a "normal" life and then realizing how her wish could backfire. And the constant quoting of Rumi was definitely dreamy. I cannot wait to find out where Z and Layla go next! Hmmmm...lots of fountains and good light....
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Zeeta has had a rather unusual life. Her free-spirited mother Layla has never really settled anywhere so Zeeta has lived all over the world in her 15 years of life. She speaks numerous languages fluently. When they end up in Ecuador, Zeeta befriends Wendell, a 16-year-old boy from Colorado in search of his birth parents. This is a strange book that is a bit outside my usual reading genres. It is a bit too new age for my tastes, but I could see the book appealing to teen girls who enjoy fantasy of the whimsical variety. I listened to the audio version of this book.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Zeeta’s mother is a bit of a hippy and moves country every year. Zeeta is getting sick of being constantly uprooted and longs for a more ‘normal’ life. In Ecuador she meets Wendell, an American teenager who is searching for his birth parents, and the two join forces. In a little Ecuadoran village they discover lots of friendly people but also stumble onto a mystery. This book contains something for everyone: romance, adventure and mystery in an interesting location. Zeeta is a strong, independent character and her adventures rang true. This book would probably appeal to girls aged 15 and up.
