    About this ebook

    I wish I was away in IngoFar across the briny sea,Sailing over deepest watersWhere love nor care never trouble me. . . .

    By the Cornwall coast where Sapphire lives with her family, it's easy to hear the call of the sea. Too easy.

    When the sea called to Sapphy's father, he vanished from her life. When the sea called to her brother, he started disappearing for hours on end. And now the sea is calling to Sapphy, and she feels its pull more strongly than she's ever felt anything in her life.

    In a novel full of longing, mystery, and magic, Helen Dunmore takes us to a new world that has the power both to captivate and to destroy. At the waterline, the two worlds of Air and Ingo meet. Sapphy and her brother, Conor, find themselves at the boundary between these worlds, in a place of danger and amazing discoveries.

    • 4/5
      This was a lovely story. The author did an amazing job of creating Ingo I loved her descriptions of this underwater world.

      As Sappy and her brother search of their missing fisherman father, they learn of the domain of the mermaids/mermen and their connection to it.
    • 3/5
      Sappy's father disappears one night into the sea under mysterious circumstances. Since then, she is drawn to the sea and discovers the Mer living right off the coast of Cornwall. In the first of a trilogy, Sappy learns of this new undersea land, realizes she is part of the Mer, and helps save the man who is courting her mother.It will be interesting to see where this trilogy is headed. The undersea world seems more realistic than that imagined for most mermaid stories and makes this pedestrian story more intriguing than it might otherwise be. Although a little draggy in parts, this book will be enjoyed by mermaid fans and by girls who enjoy strong female characters. Older elementary, middle school.
    • 4/5
      Sapphire and Connor have grown up on the coast of Cornwall with the ocean as a constant companion. Although their family wasn't always in harmony, they were always together. Connor like their mother and Sapphire like their father. Then one day their father went to the ocean and never returned. Now they're a family of three and Sapphire feels the emptiness in her life every day. Then something new came, a calling that Sapphire and Connor can feel in their bones. The call of another world that meets but is always separate from our own. An ocean world where mythology is real and secrets are discovered.I really enjoyed this story of another world which lives beside our own. I also liked the two main characters of Sapphire and her brother Connor. Although they did have the customary sibling squables I really thought the trust and support they showed to one another gave the story its emotional depth. The author has created an interesting and unique mythology of earth magic and sea magic which seems as though it might warrant re-visiting in the form of a sequel. Although the ending did seem that it could be finite many of the answers I thought we would discover at the end of the story were left to speculation, but this did not ruin my enjoyment of the story. I wouldn't hesitate recommending it to Harry Potter fans that might wish to venture into fantastic realms other than the wizarding one.
    • 2/5
      Kind of slow. Not too entertaining.
    • 5/5
      Well, Where do I start. I put four stares, for very good reasons. This is an amazing book that I wish it never ended, with adventure and thrilling chapters. You can never predict whats going to happening, and it's nothing you'll expect.They are a happy family with great lives, but that all changes once there dad does not come back from sailing out at sea. Everyone believes he is died, but not his daughter Sapphire, who knows he is still alive. Along side her big brother Conor, who also believes he is till alive, will stop at nothing to find there father. I would recommend this book to those sea lovers out there, and adventures people.
    • 5/5
      A different kind of fantasy , instead of the usual wizards, elves and pixies two young people are enticed into the sea by mer people. I highly recommend this story as it creatively explores the issue of pollution and how we care for the environment.
    • 5/5
      Ingo, is about a girl named Sapphire and her brother Conor.They by the sea in Cornwall.Conor starts dissapearing for hours.Sapphire, worried follows him to his location.Suprisingly it is at a cove.She hears voices, who is he talking to?the rocks?himself?Together they discove the world of Ingo-an dagerous wolrd beneath the surface of earth and the waves, all you can breath is adventure...
    • 4/5
      Sapphire and her brother Conor live in Cornwall beside the sea and tragedy starts the story with the disappearance of their father, when he goes out in his fishing boat. Then the story takes a stranger twist when the two children start meeting with Merrows or Merpeople, who take them to explore their strange underwater world and the two children have to make a choice between life on land and life in the water.It's an interesting exploration of the myths and legends of sea people and the relationship those people have with land-people. It's interesting and the story flowed well. I'm looking forward to exploring more stories by this author.
