Review
"Intensely compelling... gorgeous." Amanda Craig, The 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 "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
Often sequels are not as powerful as the original, but this sequel to Ingo (2006), a British fantasy import, seems, at times, to be far more gripping than its franchise leader, with tense plot points cooled by more temperate but compelling plot points. Sapphire and her brother Conor have long suspected that their father didn't simply disappear. They thought he answered the call of Ingo, an undersea world populated by Mer folk. The siblings struggle with their loss and the search for answers but also their own identities as part Mer and part human. That conflict aside, a certain force in Ingo, the Tide Knot, a system wherein the tides of the world rush in but return in an organized structure, decides to will itself undone. This promises certain death and damage to the seaside community Sapphire inhabits with her family. The fantastic journey undertaken by both teenagers reveals them as worthy heroes in a promising adventure in a foreign land (and sea). (Fiction. 10-14) (Kirkus Reviews)
Product Description
'The Tide Knot' is the dramatic and spellbinding sequel to Helen Dunmore's critically acclaimed 'Ingo'. "I can't go back in the house. I'm restless, prickling all over. The wind hits me like slaps from huge invisible hands. But it's not the wind that worries me. It's something else, beyond the storm..." Sapphire and Conor can't forget their adventures in Ingo, the mysterious world beneath the sea. They long to see their Mer friends Faro and Elvira, and swim with the dolphins once more. But a crisis is brewing far below the ocean's surface, where the wisest of the Mer guards the Tide Knot. And soon both Sapphire and Conor will be drawn into Ingo's troubled waters...
