Ingo- Helen Dunmore
HarperCollins £5,99
This makes a great summer holiday read for children 9-13yrs, but if you get the chance to read it yourself, take it.
‘A cold shiver is creeping over my skin, as cold as the mist. I know where Conor's gone. Down the track, through the bracken and foxgloves, down the path and out on to the grassy lip of cliff above the cove. Everything wet and shining with mist. The rocks hidden, the sea hidden. Down the rocks, between the boulders, on to the rocks. Everything slippery and dangerous... the sea pulling like a magnet. Pulling Conor as it pulled me.’
Sapphire and her brother Conor’s life in Cornwall is idyllic; they are free to explore the beautiful cove near their cottage; they swim there and play together – it is their own special place. Until one terrible day when things change in a way they could never possibly have predicted.
