I feel bad about giving this book such a low rating but oh well. There were some aspects that I enjoyed but overall this was a disappointment.I've never read a book that painted a picture as well as Ingo did. I read it several years ago, but Cornwall, England has stuck in my mind ever since. The story centers on the life of twelve-year old Sapphire and her older brother, Conor, and how they find an underwater world in their town's cove. The book was part of a four-story series, but it was definitely the strongest novel of the bunch. I'd reccomend it to anyone who knows how to read. Sapphire and Conor live in a small beachside house, a
I discovered this series by pure luck. I found the second book on one of the tables in the YA section of chapters. It was all colourful and shiny so I picked it up (wow...I'm such a bird). I Bought the book that day not realizing it was the second book. So I went back and got the first one, which was rather difficult because as it turns out-the series is suppose to be in the 9-12 section. ANyways...This book is by a british woman (Just another piece of proof that they are the best writers) and
Ingo is a delightful story full of beautiful and serene imagery as well as magic. Its a childrens book, yes, but it captured my attention and Im very glad to have come across it. Its about an eleven-year-old girl and her older brother who lose their father one day when he takes out his boat and disappears. The children are the only two people in town (with the exception of Granny Carne) who believe that he is still alive. They discover an underwater world called Ingo, where they meet Faro and
SUMMARYWhen Sapphire's father disappears, most people say he's been drowned, although the more vicious of the townspeople say he ran off with another woman. But neither Sapphy or her brother Conor believe either story. Raised on the coast of Cornwall, they have an intimate connection to the sea and her mysteries. Neither of them realizes quite how intimate. When Sapphire feels an irresistible call to the ocean, she must choose where her loyalties lie - to her Air family and the brother whom she
this book is AMAZINGGGGG Now I should read the rest of the series...
This revolutionizes the entire idea of mermaids. Not fishy, scaked creatures, but sleek, half-seal hybrids. No, they do not comb thair hair while sitting on the rocks in the sun all day. Judging from Faro alone, they are a majestic people.And this has more depth than any mermaid story I have ever read. The idea that going into Ingo can hurt, that it can call you and suck you up in it forever, that it can make you part of itself...that is so much more mature than any other mermaid book I have
