Ingo The Best Yet November 4, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
My mum bought me the first book, i saw the front cover and read the blurb 'mermaids' i thought, i wasn't so sure. I gave it a go anyway and i couldn't put it down, It was brilliant! The writer Helen Dunmore is an amazing author, She makes it feel so real and adds lots of brilliant adjectives. It wasn't anything like I'd have thought, not mermaidy at all, just so exciting and at times heartbreaking. It sent you on a roller coaster of emotions! The charatcers are very well explained and described in a subtle way, It's like you gain the characters' trust and affection. Once I ahd read 'Ingo' I found out there were two more, one called 'The Tide Know' which was so exciting and then 'The Deep'. I was on the edge of my chair the WHOLE way through. The whole trilogy is based on a sea loving family whose father/husband is enticed into Ingo a place were the Mer live, were he build a new famiy. Slowly Sapphy and Conor find out about their Mer blood. Unfortunately in this trilogy we don't find out what happens to the father/husband. But fortuantley there is a 4th book (no longer a trilogy). 'The Crossing Of Ingo' is the last stretch for Sapphy and Conor on thier journey to becoming full Mer. What will happen to dad?!?

IngoThe Crossing of Ingo (Ingo Adventures) <<< Book No. 1
Outstanding October 3, 2008
I read the series this summer and it was the best book I have ever read Saphy and conner decide to make the crossing and it isn't easy they first get attacked by sharks which Ervys has recruted that where previousley gaurding the tide knot and from there it sets of showing the marvolous parts in INGO and the dark ominous moments Faro and Elvira are there too and a relationship is floating for Faro and Saphy as he expresses rather vageuly by saying how he will stop calling her little sister because she is not so little any more by the end you will have your own theory of what happens next the conclusion I made was that saphire would stay on land with her mother till she is finished school and then will join Faro in INGO but not fully and conner will stay on land with rainbow.

The crossing of Ingo usually goes south, but due to sharks, Faro, Conor, Sapphy and Elvira are forced to go north. Despite the challenge of polar bear attacks and ice, they reach the south and Sapphy meets somebody she was not expecting to see ... A beautiful book, the last and best in the enchanging Ingo series.
