The following summer her brother Conor keeps disappearing for hours on end. She goes to the cove to find
him, but instead meets Faro, an enigmatic and intriguing
Merman. He takes her to Ingo and introduces her to a
world she never knew existed. She must let go of all her
Air thoughts and embrace the sea and all things Mer.
After her first visit she is entranced – merely the sound of
running water makes her yearn to be in Ingo once more.
Ingo blood runs strongly in Sapphy and Conor fears she
will leave the Air world for good. He pleads with her to
ignore her craving for the sea and stay safely in their
cottage up on the cliff.
But not only is Sapphy intoxicated by the Mer world, she
longs to see her father once more. And she's sure she can

MERLIN CONSPIRACY
Diana Wynne Jones
9780007151400
A glorious fantasy from an award–
winning author. The story is narrated
by two very different teenagers, who
each inhabit two extraordinarily different worlds.
The world of Arianrhod Hyde (or Roddy, as she prefers to
be called) is very much the world of magic, pageantry
and ritual – not unlike Britain in King Arthur's day. Presiding over all is the Merlin, who is entrusted with the
magical health of the Isles of Blest.
Nick Mallory's world is much more familiar – at least it
starts off like our own. But he soon slips sideways into
something he thinks is a dream, but is in fact another
world entirely.
In Roddy's world, the current Merlin expires and a new
one takes his place. Yet something is wrong – nothing is
going the way it should. Roddy needs help, and certain
powers indicate that Nick is the one to help her.
Their stories unfold side by side, each part leading to the
next, then thickening as the tales swirl around each
other. Twining, meeting and affecting each other, they
never completely combine until the very last chapters –
when all is finally revealed.

Stephanie's uncle Gordon is a writer of horror fiction. But

Pursued by evil forces intent on recovering a mysterious

wisecracking skeleton of a dead wizard.
When all hell breaks loose, it's lucky for Skulduggery that
he's already dead. Though he's about to discover that
being a skeleton doesn't stop you from being tortured, if
the torturer is determined enough. And if there's anything
Skulduggery hates, it's torture... Will evil win the day?
Will Stephanie and Skulduggery stop bickering long
