Description In Pursuance Of Books The Crossing of Ingo (Ingo #4)
Helen Dunmore, a British author, well known for her books for children, has come out with yet another fantasy series called the Ingo series. Initially a trilogy, it soon went onto become a series with a total of 4 books. Ingo is the 1st book of the series. A fan of Harry Potter, I picked this book just by glancing at its cover…it featured a mermaid. :)The story is about the adventures of Connor and Sapphire, who loose their father to the world of Ingo. He is believed to have drowned but Connor and Sapphire refuse to believe that their father is dead. As they and their mother struggle to get through the life without their father, Connor discovers the world of Ingo through Elvira, a mermaid who befriends Connor, and Sapphire soon follows Connor into Ingo with the help of her merfriend Faro. Sapphire becomes obsessed with the sea and Ingo owing to her strong mixed human-merpeople heritage. Unlike Connor who has more of the Air or Earth spirit in him, Sapphire’s Water/Ingo spirit dominates her thought process. As they delve deeper into this new world, they discover the whereabouts of their father, who turns into a merman and has a whole new mer-family. The story then moves to describe the different aspects of the ocean that Sapphire and Connor discover including their mer powers, and concludes with the family moving from Cornwall to a new location.
This fantasy series is quite enjoyable to read if you are an avid fan of merpeople and legends as such. One will appreciate the adaptable and more matured Connor when compared to the stubborn and hard headed Sapphire, who is quite intent on escaping the human world and her problems. On the whole, this is a good to read book.

I are REALLY mad because this book is only sold in the UK!!!!!Okay, I have fallen hopelessly in love with Ingo since sixth grade. For some obnoxious reason, The Crossing of Ingo wasn't available in American libraries, so I had to buy it--which totally wasn't a problem because no matter how old I will get these books will always have a special place in my heart. :)GOOD STUFF!:To be brief, I was not disappointed!! I was SO HAPPY to see that Connor got over Elvira. I don't have any specific problem with her, besides the general "mary sue" vibe she gave
Plot Synopsis: Conner and Sapphire are again called by Ingo, this time to make the journey that all young Mer must make: the Crossing of Ingo. Alone, they must travel to the bottom of the world and back to prove they are true Mer. This time though, Ervys has gathered followers who are against anyone with ANY human blood in Ingo, and will do anything to stop them. On the journey, the siblings and their friends will discover their own identities and where their future lies.Review: This was a good
This book was great, just like the rest of the series, but I really do think that there should be another book. In this book, Dunmore hints at the fact that maybe Sapphire's mom is part mer as well. She shows her sort of having a flashback about her experiencing the same pain that Sapphire went through when she first learned to swim with the mer. Dunmore can't just leave us hanging, and I would like to see some character development, with the mom overcoming her fear slowly and experiencing Ingo,

:D loved the ending on this book. Although i always wanted some romance between Faro and Sapphire, yet it never happened. Elvira annoyed me throughout this book and sometimes i wished she wasnt part of it.
Why did her dad have to die though?
