Description
Ethan is left to draw the illustrations for a graphic novel that he and some friends are required to create for a school project. Everyone assumed that Ethan would be the perfect choice for the illustrator position since his dad was a professional artist; however, this was certainly not the case. His dad was always so busy, he never found time to teach his son any of his tips or skills. When Ethan woke up one morning after a long, hopeless session of trying to draw a cartoon gorilla, he was greeted with a large, black blob of ink over his attempted work. As he went to touch the ink blob, it suddenly darted across the room out of sight! This was his introduction to his new friend and art instructor, who may be just what it takes to turn Ethan into a successful artist. 256 pgs, pb. ~ Brianna
Publisher's Description of Inkling
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.
Enter Inkling. Inkling begins life in Mr. Rylance's sketchbook. But one night the ink of his drawings runs together–and 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 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 the 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 want.
It's not until Inkling goes missing that this family has to face the larger questions of what they–and Inkling–truly need.
