Sapphire and her brother Conor's life in Cornwall is idyllic; they are free to explore the beautiful cove near their cottage where they swim and play together-it is their own special place. Then one terrible day, things change in a way they could never have predicted. Why does Conor keep disappearing for hours on end?And who is the mysterious girl with long dark hair, talking to him on the rocks?
Following him down to the cove one day, Sapphy discovers an enchanted world she never knew existed. Soon she begins to let go of all the things she loves and cares about as she becomes intoxicated by the dangers and excitements of Ingo.
Helen Dunmore is a prize-winning author. In Ingo, the first novel in her major trilogy for children, she has created a tantalizing and perilous world under the sea, and a story that is utterly mesmerizing.
