With a lifelong a fascination of all things 'mer,' Dunmore's teen fiction novels were a huge part of my life growing up. The nail-biting months between additions were greatly felt and since the final book was released I have continued to re-read them at least once a year.
I would strongly recommend you purchase a copy of 'INGO.' These books are the perfect mix of fantasy and reality and before you know it you will think you are 'away in Ingo' too.
