Product Description
Review
“The most action-packed and satisfying of the four stories, with vivid animal portraits, a vast undersea journey and a climactic fight. Ingo will be missed.” The Times
“The Crossing of Ingo is just as beautiful as the first three books in this wonderful quartet. These are books that will be read for generations. They have everything – family dynamics, the nature of love, coming of age, resolution of conflict, world as entity, not resource. And they are written with great beauty, but more than that, they are written with an unmistakeable voice and a love of words.” The Book Bag
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
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
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

No human being has ever attempted this thrilling voyage to the bottom of the world. Ervys, his followers and new recruits, the sharks, are determined that Sapphire and Conor must be stopped – dead or alive…

Format:Hardcover
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.

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?!?

Format:Paperback
the crossing of ingo is brilliant, it's a detailed story about sapphire and connor setting out to find their father and make the crossing to become truly part of ingo. To read this book you need to have read the other books in the series (ingo, tide knot and the deep). This book is adventorous, breath taking and extremly sad. I am 10 and this book has been one of the best books i have ever read. This book concludes the rest or the series and holds secrets that you can not live without knowing...
SO READ THIS BOOK!!!!!!!
