The Kraken is awake. A devastating flood has torn through both Air and Ingo, and yet the danger has only just begun. Mer legend has it that only those of mixed blood can defeat this terrible monster and so it falls to Sapphire, a human child with Mer blood, to journey to the Deep and face it. Stalwart brother Conor and best friend Faro refuse to let Sapphire face the Kraken alone. Together, they find the mother whale and with her as their guide, risk their lives to save the Mer.
My thanks to the nice people at Harper Collins for sending the book.
While ''The Deep'' stands up by itself, it would be better to read [[''Ingo]] '' and [[''The Tide Knot]] '' first. Frances Hardinge's [[Verdigris Deep]] also combines family stresses with magic fantasy, while Katherine Langrish's [[Troll series]] asks children to show courage in the face of supernatural danger.

|comment= Is there going to be a fourth book? I know that Ingo was supposed to be a trilogy, but it would seem to me that The Deep doesn't quite finish off the series.
Other than that, I absolutely loved this book. I'm a huge fan of Ingo so if there is a fourth bookthen all the better for me.

|comment= I absolutely adored the Ingo trilogy! I hardly put the books down after reading the first pages.
''The Deep'' doesn't seem to be the end of Saphire's amazing adventures, so I prayer that there is more to come soon with the ''Crossing Of Ingo''.

|comment= If there was one series that I have been so completely immersed in it was the Ingo series. I took one day to read Ingo, and afterwards you're left with this (excuse the analogy) underwater feeling. Like your life isn't real and there's so much magic everywhere that you haven't discovered yet. Thanks Helen!
