Narrative In Pursuance Of Books Ingo (Ingo #1)
I wish I was away in Ingo, Far across the sea, Sailing over the deepest waters, Where love nor care can trouble me...Sapphire's father mysteriously vanishes into the waves off the Cornwall coast where her family has always lived. She misses him terribly, and she longs to hear his spellbinding tales about the Mer, who live in the underwater kingdom of Ingo.

But when her brother, Conor, starts disappearing for hours on end, Sapphy starts to believe she might not be the only one who hears the call of the ocean.

I love mermaids, but I'm having some trouble finding a really good mermaid book. This one was especially disappointing since a friend and fellow mermaid fan recommended it to me. Sadly, it just didn't work, although it's really not a bad book.I'll do the good first. The basic plotline itself was interesting, and could have been really engaging. The short version: Sapphire and Conor's father disappears. (The book is written in Saph's POV) They are convinced that he's still alive, just vanished.It was more than an OK book. It was good though not enough to hook me. It felt like T. S. White style of writing with the young Arthur book 'Sword in the Stone'. Young Arthur a.k.a. Wart learn magic or wisdom by turning himself to various of animals and talking with them, observing their way of life, with Merlin's help of course. In this book, though not turning anyone into animals, the idea is similar. Sapphire and Conor learnt how to be Mer people, they learnt how to talk with animals and
REVIEWI love reading mermaid books. There are not very many of them, so I cherish the few that I can get my hands (and eyes) on. Ingo is no exception.Ingo is the name of the magical underwater world where the mermaids (and mermen) live. You dont see much of it in the book, but the descriptions that are in there, are amazing. I am betting there is more detail about this amazing world in the next book.This book is told from Sapphires point of view. She is spunky and loyal to her brother, Conor. I
It was so good . They are humans and they can speak mer. They have powers. they have to be careful with sharks and seals. her father disappear and they couldn't find the body so they had a pirate funeral.This book had 328 page.
Ingo is a delightful story full of beautiful and serene imagery as well as magic. Its a childrens book, yes, but it captured my attention and Im very glad to have come across it. Its about an eleven-year-old girl and her older brother who lose their father one day when he takes out his boat and disappears. The children are the only two people in town (with the exception of Granny Carne) who believe that he is still alive. They discover an underwater world called Ingo, where they meet Faro and
SUMMARYWhen Sapphire's father disappears, most people say he's been drowned, although the more vicious of the townspeople say he ran off with another woman. But neither Sapphy or her brother Conor believe either story. Raised on the coast of Cornwall, they have an intimate connection to the sea and her mysteries. Neither of them realizes quite how intimate. When Sapphire feels an irresistible call to the ocean, she must choose where her loyalties lie - to her Air family and the brother whom she
