Ingo

by Helen Dunmore 44444

I recommend Ingo. It is part fantasy, part adventure, and part mystery. This book takes place in modern day Cornwall, England.

Ingo is about a girl named Sapphire, called Sapphy. Sapphy has an older brother Conor. Sapphy is very happy with her brother, mother, and father. Then one night her father goes out on their boat, the Patty Gordon, and never comes back. Everyone thinks he has died.

About a year later Conor starts disappearing for hours on end. Sapphy goes down on the beach, and sees Conor with a girl. A week or two after that, she meets a merboy named Faro. She finds out that Faro’s sister Elvira, is the girl with Conor. Faro takes Sapphy deep into the ocean where she can’t breathe, but under the water, is Ingo, the land deep under the water. Because she and Conor are part Mer, they breathe adventure, not air.

Sapphy thinks her father was taken into the water by Faro and Elvira. She must find out without her mother or her boyfriend knowing.

I liked Ingo because it is exciting and pulls me in like the water pulls Sapphy.
