"Sinopsis" puede pertenecer a otra edición de este libro.
A spellbinding magical adventure. Master storyteller Helen Dunmore writes the story of Sapphire and her brother Conor, and their discovery of INGO, a powerful and exciting world under the sea.
You’ll find the mermaid of Zennor inside Zennor church. She fell in love with a human, but she was a Mer creature and so she couldn’t come to live with him up in the dry air. She swam up the stream to hear him sing, then one day he swam down it and was never seen again. He became one of the Mer people...
Sapphire’s father told her that story when she was little. When he is lost at sea she can’t help but think of that old myth; she’s convinced he’s still alive.
The following summer her brother Conor keeps disappearing for hours on end. She goes to the cove to find him, but instead meets Faro, an enigmatic and intriguing Merman. He takes her to Ingo and introduces her to a world she never knew existed. She must let go of all her Air thoughts and embrace the sea and all things Mer.
After her first visit she is entranced – merely the sound of running water makes her yearn to be in Ingo once more. Ingo blood runs strongly in Sapphy and Conor fears she will leave the Air world for good. He pleads with her to ignore her craving for the sea and stay safely in their cottage up on the cliff.
But not only is Sapphy intoxicated by the Mer world, she longs to see her father once more. And she’s sure she can hear him singing across the water...
“I wish I was away in Ingo
Far across the briny sea...”
Back cover
A world without air where all you breathe is adventure...
Front flap
A cold shiver is creeping over my skin, as cold as the mist. I know where Conor's gone. Down the track, through the bracken and foxgloves, down the path and out on to the grassy lip of cliff above the cove. Everything wet and shining with mist. The rocks hidden, the sea hidden. Down the rocks, between the boulders, on to the rocks. Everything slippery and dangerous... the sea pulling like a magnet. Pulling Conor as it pulled me.
Sapphire and her brother Conor’s life in Cornwall is idyllic; they are free to explore the beautiful cove near their cottage; they swim there and play together – it is their own special place. Until one terrible day when things change in a way they could never possibly 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 a mysterious world she never knew existed. Soon she begins to let go of all the things she loves and cares about as she becomes intoxicated with this dangerous and exciting place, which is like nothing she has ever experienced before.
HELEN DUNMORE is a prize-winning author. In Ingo, part one of her first major trilogy for children, she has created a tantalisingly beautiful and dangerous world under the sea, and a story which is utterly mesmerising.
