When Sapphire's father vanishes into the waves near their Cornwall home, she and her brother Conor are pulled toward Ingo, a hidden underwater world ruled by the mysterious Mer people. Across all five books, family loyalty, longing, and the pull between land and sea drive an atmospheric saga steeped in folklore. Lyrical, immersive, and emotionally rich, this collection rewards readers who love slow-building fantasy with real heart beneath its watery surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Books\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHelen Dunmore's Ingo Chronicles unfolds along the rugged Zennor coast of Cornwall, where eleven-year-old Sapphire and her older brother Conor discover that the sea holds more than grief for their missing father. It holds Ingo, an ancient underwater realm inhabited by the Mer, a race of sea people bound by tides, songs, and old rivalries with humankind. Sapphy is drawn again and again toward Faro, an enigmatic young Merman, and toward a world that promises to answer questions about her father's disappearance while asking a dangerous price of its own. Across the five novels, the siblings navigate storms, sea monsters, prophecy, and the growing tension between the human world of Air and the seductive pull of Ingo. Dunmore, an award-winning poet as well as novelist, brings a lyrical, sensory style to every wave, current, and cave, making the ocean itself feel like a living character. Themes of belonging, first love, sibling loyalty, and the ache of a parent lost recur throughout, giving the fantasy elements genuine emotional weight. Readers follow Sapphy from her first glimpse of the Mer world through escalating adventures involving a rogue Tide Knot, a stirring Kraken, and a perilous crossing that tests the strongest of the young Mer. Ideal for confident middle-grade readers aged nine and up, and equally satisfying for older fans of atmospheric fantasy, this brand-new five-book paperback set offers a complete, self-contained saga. It's a great pick for classroom libraries or any young reader who has wondered what lies beneath the waves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete five-book paperback set of Helen Dunmore's acclaimed Ingo Chronicles in one purchase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLyrical, myth-rich storytelling perfect for readers who love mermaids and sea fantasy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFollows a consistent cast across all five titles, ideal for binge-reading fans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand-new condition, ready to gift or add straight to a classroom or home library\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat for ages 9-12 (Grades 4-7), bridging middle-grade fantasy and coming-of-age themes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact paperback format is easy to pack for vacations, road trips, or summer reading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook-by-Book Guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIngo — Sapphire's father vanishes off the Cornwall coast, drawing her toward Faro and the hidden underwater world of Ingo.\u003cbr\u003eStormswept — A moodier, atmospheric return to the Ingo world tests old loyalties as new dangers stir beneath the waves.\u003cbr\u003eThe Crossing of Ingo — Sapphire and Conor face the perilous Crossing, a journey only the strongest young Mer are asked to attempt.\u003cbr\u003eThe Deep — A stirring Kraken and a devastating flood push Sapphy and her whale companion into the ocean's darkest depths.\u003cbr\u003eTide Knot — When the mystical Tide Knot comes undone, Sapphire and Conor must race to save their coastal hometown from the rising sea.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHelen Dunmore was an award-winning British novelist, poet, and children's writer whose lyrical style earned her wide critical acclaim.

Set along the wild Cornish coast, the saga follows Sapphire and her brother Conor after their father vanishes at sea, drawing them into Ingo, a hidden underwater world of Mer people, ancient song, and shifting loyalties. Across five books the story widens to include Morveren and Jenna on a storm-battered island, deepening the mythology with every tide. Lyrical, atmospheric, and steeped in sea-lore, this collection is a rewarding find for readers who love mermaids, myth, and coming-of-age adventure, and makes a lovely gift for a young reader's shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Books\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThis five-book paperback collection brings together the complete Ingo saga in the order it was written. It opens with Ingo, in which Sapphire's father disappears during a storm and she is drawn to Faro, a Mer boy who shows her the hidden realm beneath the waves. The Tide Knot, The Deep, and The Crossing of Ingo continue Sapphire and Conor's journey as they are pulled between the human world of Air and the shimmering, dangerous beauty of Ingo, testing family bonds and trust. The fifth book, Stormswept, shifts to a windswept island off the Cornish coast, where Morveren and her sister Jenna face their own reckoning with the sea, broadening the saga's mythic geography. Helen Dunmore, a poet as well as a novelist, brings a lyrical, wave-like rhythm to the prose, letting the sea itself feel like a character with moods and memory. Themes of grief, loyalty, and the pull between safety and wonder run through every volume. Reissued in matching paperback covers, this set is an ideal way for new readers to discover the series from the start, and suits confident middle-grade readers looking for an immersive story that keeps unfolding, book after book. The saga rewards patient readers who enjoy slow-building mystery as much as adventure, with each title adding new characters, new stretches of coastline, and new questions about where Sapphire truly belongs. It is a natural next step for readers who have enjoyed other British myth-and-sea fantasies and are ready for a longer, more emotionally layered series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete five-book paperback set of Helen Dunmore's acclaimed Ingo saga\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatching covers look great together on a shelf or classroom library\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAtmospheric, sea-themed fantasy for fans of mermaids and myth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten by an award-winning novelist and poet with a lyrical style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for confident readers ages 9-12 (Grades 4-7)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat gift for birthdays, holidays, or a young reader's home library\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook-by-Book Guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIngo — After her father is lost at sea, Sapphire meets the mysterious Mer boy Faro and discovers the hidden underwater world of Ingo.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Tide Knot — Sapphire and Conor return to Ingo and confront a mounting danger as the balance between land and sea begins to break down.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Deep — The siblings venture further into Ingo's depths, encountering older, stranger forces and a growing threat from the ocean's darkest reaches.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Crossing of Ingo — Sapphire and Conor undertake a perilous journey that forces them to choose, at last, between the world of Air and the world of Ingo.\u003cbr\u003e\nStormswept — On a remote island off the Cornish coast, Morveren and her sister Jenna face their own storm-tossed reckoning with the sea and its Mer legends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nHelen Dunmore was a widely admired British novelist, poet, and children's author whose work was recognized with major literary honors during her career.
