Overview
Mishaps and madness ensue when magical drawing ink comes to life in the Rylance home and 11-year-old Ethan tries to prove he's just as talented as his famous father. A moving but light-hearted story about grief, family and a sixth-grade rivalry. When Ethan’s class is given the task of creating a graphic novel and magical ink jumps out of his father’s sketchbook, a strange series of events is set into motion. To his younger sister, Inkling is Lucy, her beloved dog; to his father, Inkling is a second chance at a dwindling career and a chance to solve his family’s money worries. Friends and enemies alike try to use Inkling to ace tests and create bestselling comic books, but to Ethan, Inkling is his friend – and he must do everything in his power save him.

Reviews
Definitely an imaginative story that young readers will thoroughly enjoy. * Armadillo * Charming, engaging and wonderfully imaginative. One that must be read. * Fallen Star Stories * Inkling is a story I think is so precious and one so many would enjoy and is a novel that I completely, and genuinely recommend. * The Glasgow Herald * This is an unlikely story, stretching the bounds of belief but is nevertheless pacey, gripping and amusing in equal part. * The School Librarian *
