The Rylance family is stuck. Dad's got writer's block. Ethan promised to illustrate a group project at schoolâeven though he can't draw. Sarah's still pining for a puppy. And they all miss Mom. So much more than they can say.
Enter Inkling. Inkling begins life in Mr. Rylance's sketchbook. But one night the ink of his drawings runs togetherâand then leaps off the page! This small burst of creativity is about to change everything.
Ethan finds him first. Inkling has absorbed a couple chapters of his math bookânot goodâand the story he's supposed to be illustrating for schoolâalso not good. But Inkling's also started drawing the pictures to go with the storyâwhich is amazing! It's just the help Ethan was looking for! Inkling helps the rest of the family tooâfor Sarah he's a puppy. And for Dad he's a spark of ideas for a new graphic novel. It's exactly what they all want.
It's not until Inkling goes missing that this family has to face the larger questions of what theyâand Inklingâtruly need.
Kenneth Oppel has given us a small masterpiece of middle-grade fiction. Inkling is funny and fizzy and exciting, and brimming with the kind of interesting ideas and dilemmas that kids will love to wrestle with. And Sydney Smith has created wonderfully inky illustrations to bring the story to vivid life. Get ready. A little ink blot is about to become your new favorite character!
