Caddy's bed was close enough to touch. Saffy could tell by the feel of the darkness that Caddy was awake. She said, "Caddy, how long ago can you remember?"

What do you think about Bill's and Eve's styles of parenting? In what ways are their styles similar, and in what ways are they different? Are they good parents? Do you think the four children would have turned out differently if they'd been brought up by a more traditional couple?Meet Sarah: "I will say I want to take my beanbag," said Sarah, ignoring Saffron's squeaks on the phone. "I often take my beanbag on car trips. It's enormous and you're not very big. I'll empty it out and cover you in the cover and pile a lot of stuff around, and they'll never notice. They're used to me having a lot of stuff. As you know. What do you say?" Heroic Bystander: Ironically enough, the boys bullying Indigo rescue Rose when she's about to cross the street with Tom's broken guitar without using a crosswalk or looking both ways. They pay for it when Rose believes they broke the guitar further and recognizes them as the gang going after her brother, leading to her beating them up. biblioNET OPAC".

Colourful Theme Naming: The four Casson children. Cadmium Gold (yellow) has long blond hair and a bright, cheerful personality, Indigo (dark blue) is a calm, sensitive boy with indigo-blue eyes and dark hair and Saffron (red) is a fierce, snappy and independent girl. For Rose, see Meaningful Name. If there is one thing your mother was good at," Bill Casson, the children's father, would say, "it was choosing names for you children!" Saffron was not listening. She looked at the picture of her mother again and said, "Anyway, she's dead." This shows how Saffron has felt out of place for years, and when she goes to mourn the loss of a relative that her family loves as much as she does, it almost makes her fit in. The last sentence in the paragraph renews your sympathy for Saffron. Irony: Saffy's constant insistence throughout the first two books how "Bill is not [my] father." It later turns out to be true, however. It also gives her a Heroic BSoD.

Saffron had lost her grandfather only the week before. She had lost her family twice… She seemed to have been losing people all her life and she had no intention of losing the first proper friend she had ever made.” Britain Is Only London: Averted, as the series mainly takes place in a little "unspoiled" town, though Bill does live in London, so it gets mentioned often, but only one book ( Permanent Rose) has actually used it as a setting near the end. How does Rose's trip to the zoo in Forever Rose change her and the circumstances in her life? Is she happy with these changes? Do you think she should have been punished?

But was he my grandad right from the beginning?" persisted Saffron, determined to have the truth this time. "Like he was Caddy's and Indigo's and Rose's?" Dance of Romance: It is implied that Indigo and Sarah danced to one at his disco in book four and possibly kissed too. I thought this book was very well written at the end of the chapter I just wanted the story to keep on going. I liked it because it showed how important family is there was a lot of action and adventure in this book. I think it's just a nice book that will inspire you. There isn't a Saffron," said Saffron after another long search. "I've looked, and there isn't! I've read it all, and there isn't!" Nothing, nothing!" repeated the health visitor, half singing the words, and then in a completely different voice, "Good heavens! What on earth is this?"It was a painter's color chart, from an artists' materials shop. It showed all the colors a painter could ever need. There were rows and rows of little squares, each a different shade of red or blue or green or golden yellow. Every little square had the name of the color underneath. To the Casson children those names were as familiar as nursery rhymes. Other families had lullabies, but the Cassons had fallen asleep to lists of colors. Runaway Bride: Subverted. Caddy agrees to marry Alex instead of Darling Michael, but he now doesn't want to marry her. Later, Caddy steals all of Rose's postcards from Micheal and runs off in search of him instead. Everything seemed to change for Saffron after the day she deciphered the color chart and discovered that her name was not there and found out why this was. She never felt the same again. She felt lost.
