Ingo

Sappy's father disappears one night into the sea under mysterious circumstances. Since then, she is drawn to the sea and discovers the Mer living right off the coast of Cornwall. In the first of a trilogy, Sappy learns of this new undersea land, realizes she is part of the Mer, and helps save the

man who is courting her mother.

It will be interesting to see where this trilogy is headed. The undersea world seems more realistic than that imagined for most mermaid stories and makes this pedestrian story more intriguing than it might otherwise be. Although a little draggy in parts, this book will be enjoyed by mermaid fans and by girls who enjoy strong female characters. Older elementary, middle school.

they're a family of three and Sapphire feels the emptiness in her life every day. Then something new came, a calling that Sapphire and Connor can feel in their bones. The call of another world that meets but is always separate from our own. An ocean world where mythology is real and secrets are discovered.

I really enjoyed this story of another world which lives beside our own. I also liked the two main characters of Sapphire and her brother Connor. Although they did have the customary sibling squables I really thought the trust and support they showed to one another gave the story its emotional depth. The author has created an interesting and unique mythology of earth magic and sea magic which seems as though it might warrant re-visiting in the form of a sequel. Although the ending did seem that it could be finite many of the answers I thought we would discover at the end of the story were left to speculation, but this did not ruin my enjoyment of the story. I wouldn't hesitate recommending it to Harry Potter fans that might wish to venture into fantastic realms other than the wizarding one.

A different kind of fantasy , instead of the usual wizards, elves and pixies two young people are enticed into the sea by mer people. I highly recommend this story as it creatively explores the issue of pollution and how we care for the environment.

their strange underwater world and the two children have to make a choice between life on land and life in the water.

It's an interesting exploration of the myths and legends of sea people and the relationship those people have with land-people. It's interesting and the story flowed well. I'm looking forward to exploring more stories by this author.

Kind of slow. Not too entertaining.

Well, Where do I start. I put four stares, for very good reasons. This is an amazing book that I wish it never ended, with adventure and thrilling chapters. You can never predict whats going to happening, and it's nothing you'll expect.
They are a happy family with great lives, but that all changes
