Inkheart
(4 reviews with an average rating of 4 out of 5)
Publisher: The Chicken House
Cornelia Funke's magical fantasy adventure more than fulfils the promise of its prize-winning predecessor, The Thief Lord.
12-year-old Meggie and her father, Mo, a bookbinder, both love reading, but since the mysterious disappearance of Meggie's mother, they no longer read together.
One night a stranger knocks at their door, prompting Mo to reveal his awful secret: he has the ability to breathe life into stories and literally bring their characters alive. Years ago, he accidentally conjured up a terrible villain called Inkheart, who now threatens to destroy him.
Only Meggie can find a way to change the course of the story and save the father she loves, but can she do so in time?
This brilliantly told and gripping tale is part of a best-selling series.

I really enjoyed reading Inkheart because it had loads of drama, adventure and bravery. Meggie was my favorite character because she practised reading aloud just so she could save her friends and family. I think Cornelia Funke is a great author. I can't wait to read the rest of the books in the series.

This book is ok, it has a relatively happy ending, but whatever you do, DON'T read any of the other books in the series! I have read Inkspell and it is one of those books with no proper ending.

This is a long but brilliant book written by an international bestseller who clearly has a passion for reading
