Synopsis
Get ready—a little
ink blot is about to become your new best friend
The Rylance family is stuck. Dad’s got writer’s block. Ethan
promised to illustrate a group project at school—even 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. Then one night the ink of his drawings runs together—and leaps off
the page! This small burst of creativity is about to change everything.
Ethan finds him first. Inkling has absorbed a couple of chapters
of his math book—not good—and the story he’s supposed to be illustrating for
school—also not good. But Inkling’s also started drawing the pictures to go
with Ethan’s story, which is amazing! It’s just the help Ethan was looking for!
Inkling helps the rest of the family too. For 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 wanted.
It’s not until Inkling goes missing that this family is
forced to face the larger questions of what they—and Inkling—truly need.
With this book, Kenneth Oppel has given us a small
masterpiece of middle-grade fiction. Inkling
is funny and fizzy and exciting, and it brims 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.

From the Back Cover
Meet Ethan’s new best friend.
He’s a gorilla.
He’s a mutant alien superhero.
He’s a puppy.
He’s whatever he wants to be, because he’s made entirely of ink.
From the moment Inkling drags himself free from the pages of a sketchbook, he is on a mission: to teach Ethan how to draw, to help Ethan’s artist dad get working again—and to try to fix something inside Ethan’s house and heart.
Inkling is funny and fizzy and brimming with adventure. And Sydney Smith’s brilliant illustrations make Inkling leap from the page. Get ready. A little inkblot is about to become your new best friend, too.
