Praise for The Deep
"Dunmore's writing, steeped in maritime legends, is exquisite. The descriptions of plunging 'sleek and fast as a seal' through turquoise water into the rich blue-purple that lies beneath are gorgeous.. The Deep is sophisticated and supple." The Daily Telegraph
"Dunmore's series is written in a sensual, descriptive prose that evokes the watery kingdom with conviction. Characters are clear-cut and written with exuberance.” Nicolette Jones, The Sunday Times Culture
"Just as spellbinding as its predecessors." Waterstone's Books Quarterly
"Dunmore appears to be able to turn her hand to any genre and transform it with her golden touch, making it wholly compulsive and convincing." Glasgow Herald
Praise for The Tide Knot:
"Intensely compelling… gorgeous." Amanda Craig, The Times
“Dunmore's graceful style is what makes the unbelievable believable…” The Independent on Sunday
“Like the ocean itself, this book is deep and strange and marvellous.” Nial MacMonagle, The Irish Times
“This is a wonderful fantasy story…” Jan Winter, Inis
Praise for Ingo:
"Ingo has a haunting, dangerous beauty all of its own." Philip Ardagh, Guardian
"The electric thrill of swimming with dolphins, of racing along currents, and of leaving the world of reason and caution behind are described with glorious intensity." Amanda Craig, The Times
"Compellingly lyrical." Independent
"Helen Dunmore may have a few drowned readers on her conscience, so enticing and believable is the underwater world she creates in Ingo." Telegraph
"Helen Dunmore is an exceptional and versatile writer and she writes with a restrained, sensual grace." Observer
"A remarkable fantasy… It's a haunting, beautifully written book which creates a totally believable parallel world." Northern Echo
"Ingo is an intoxicating adventure… Wonderful, evocative storytelling." Publishing News
Product Description
The third spellbinding story about Sapphy and Conor's adventures in the powerful and dangerous underwater world of Ingo.
A devastating flood has torn through the worlds of Air and Ingo, and now, deep in the ocean, a monster is stirring. Mer legend says that only those with dual blood – half Mer, half human – can overcome the Kraken.
Sapphy must return to the Deep, with the help of her friend the whale, and face this terrifying creature – and her brother Conor and Mer friend Faro will not let her go alone…

Format:Paperback
Hello you might of read my previous reviwes on INGO and THE TIDE KNOT, i am a 14 year old year girl,again i love these books! The story is yet again gripping and the sense of excitment and secrets is held all the way through, from page 1 to page 326!
The story is beautifully written with the same easy language that retains the mystery of the deep. This book is only 4 stars, and the reason is the storyline deals with a lot of emotional feeling from sapphy, and the adventure is pretty basic and if i am honest i little dull (but not boring). Hwever sapphy spends about 4/5 of her time in INGO which is what i personally wanted from the series!!
But the more imprtant bit of this story is that sapphy experiences many events that have affected the next book THE CROSSING OF INGO. Spoiler = like sapphy is given answers about what happened to her father and makes a deal with saldowr, i will leave it there! sorrry
All in all a good book and suits its purpose of setting off the feeling for the next book. Four stars, well done to helen :)... i am currently about to begin THE CROSSING OF INGO - and have high hopes from what i have read on amazon. Hope this review helps - i know that this and other reviews makes it look boring and dull, but it is very important of your understanding of the othher books to learning about the crossing. therefore do read and enjoy...
I will display another review for the CROSSING once i have read it :) hope this helps! :) ADMIRATION FOR HELEN DUNMORE! xx

It is scary, sweet, funny, friendly and creepy. The story is amazing! You have to start from the beginning though if you want to read them which is INGO! Ingo I recommend all of the books!

This is another great book by Helen dunmore. It's a gripping tale about a girl whose father goes missing, her and her brother find out he's living in Ingo and they get up to all sorts of adventures. My fav thing about this book is that it's for children and adults and no it's not a story about mermaids it's really powerful and emotional. To understand this book you must read the first two, Ingo & The Tide Knot. I can't wait to read the last in the series. (my daughter read this)

After the wonderfully written Ingo and Tide Knot I was surprised to find that The Deep ended up being so clunky and slow. Read more
