Overview
The Ingo Chronicles gathers five spellbinding novels by award-winning author Helen Dunmore into one beautiful paperback set. 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.

About the Books
This 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.
