Type of book: Adventure, Fiction
Chapter: 59
Pages: 544
My Rating: 5 stars (out of five)
Plot: One rainy night twelve year old Meggie Folchart finds a stranger outside her bedroom window. Little did she know that her life would never be the same; her father, a bookbinder named Mortimer (Mo), can read characters and objects out of books in to the real world if he reads out-loud. When Meggie was three Mo was reading a book called Inkheart when two villains and a fire-eater were standing in their living room!! After chasing them off Mo realizes that his wife and Meggie's mother, Resa, has disappeared into the book. Nine years later, Dustfinger the fire-eater, returns to try to get Mo to read him back into his world. Mo tries to tell him that he can't. Desperate Dustfinger thinks the only chose is to go to Capricorn (one of the villains that came out of the book) for help. Soon Meggie, Mo, Dustfinger, and Meggie's great-aunt Elinor are caught up in a unforgettable adventure.
My thoughts: Well, first off Cornelia Funke is a very good author. She has written many children's fiction book. I wanted to learn more about this book when I saw the movie Inkheart. So when I went to Barns & Noble to buy a book, my eyes got stuck on Inkheart! (not to mention it's brother's: Inkspell and Inkdeath =) In this book there is always something happening, good or bad. And what I like about it is that there is this book that Mo reads out of called Inkheart by this guy named Fenoglio. He was the one who created Dustfinger and Capricorn and everyone else in the book. So it's like a book in a book. I liked watching the movie first because I got to see the character and how they look and act. The only thing about the book is some characters use the D- word frequently and some kissing between Meggie and some boys.
Would I recommend this book: For 13+. Yes!

Happy Reading!
