The tide knot
The world of Ingo is once again brought to life in Helen Dunmore’s newest spellbinding sequel “The Tide Knot.” “There’s a current racing ahead, the colour of the darkest blue velvet. We plunge forward. The current is so strong that it crushes me. I’m jolting, juddering, struggling in its grip, but I can’t break away. It’s got me, like a cat with a bird in its claws.”
Sapphy, Conor and their mum have moved away from the cottage by the cove – away from the memories of their father, who disappeared two years ago – to the nearby town of St Pirans. Ever since, Sapphy has felt withdrawn and restless; she can’t adjust to her new home and new life, and can’t suppress the memories of her father and his mysterious disappearance.
Unhappy in the world of Air, Sapphy finds herself increasingly drawn to the underwater world of Ingo and to her Mer friend, Faro. There she makes new friends: Faro’s powerful, wise teacher, Saldowr, the dolphins, a whale and even sharks. But Ingo is becoming a more dangerous place. Although Conor senses this and pleads with Sapphy to stay away from Ingo, he cannot get through to her. And as Ingo grows in power both Sapphy and Conor are called to its depths to take on the might of Ingo’s tides!

I recomend The Tide Knot by Helen Dunmore. It is in the series Ingo and is the second book. It is an adventure pack book fulled with exciting twists and mystery. I love these books because they are all filled with magic and fun. My favourite charactor is definatly Faro, a merman with a cheeky personality. I love these books and i hope you do to!

This book was a great sequel to the first one ‘Ingo’. I recommend it again to people who love fantasy and adventure. Going on from the first book, Sapphire and Conor move away to St Pirans and Conor tries to forget about his adventures in Ingo. Sapphire doesn’t want to forget but Conor tries to convince her to. Sapphire’s friend Faro who is mer also wants her to come back to Ingo. Faros teacher is the guardian of the Tide knot but it is starting to break and it will bring nothing but floods and terror into St Pirans.
