(  ) jleighliles | Nov 5, 2009 |  This book is awesome! I love how it talks about actually traveling into the book! Something i have done many tomes, though not literally! It is full of suspense, and even the occasional romantic scene! ( ) HaileyBug12 | Oct 29, 2009 | Uninteresting (  )1  thelexingtonreader | Oct 25, 2009 | Imagine book characters, evil ones, literally leaping off the pages into your living room! Meggie learns some magic of her own and challenges the evil Capricorn. OHMS | Oct 21, 2009 | Inkheart is about a twelve year old girl named Meggie who's fathers voice can bring characters from books to the modern world in Italy whenever he reads aloud. Her father, Mo, is scared to read aloud because of the tragedy nine years ago that brought out Dustfinger, Capricorn, and a warrior named Basta but trapped his wife, Theresa, into the world of ink in the book, Inkheart. Nine years later Mo is given a surprise visit from his friend, Dustfinger. Dustfinger tells Mo that Capricorn wants all the copies of Inkheart left in the world. Also that Capricorn wants Mo and his voice to read out more characters out of books. ( ) sonia11 | Oct 20, 2009 |  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com (ISBN 0439531640, Hardcover)Meggie’s father, Mo, has an wonderful and sometimes terrible ability. When he reads aloud from books, he brings the characters to life--literally. Mo discovered his power when Maggie was just a baby. He read so lyrically from the the book Inkheart, that several of the book’s wicked characters ended up blinking and cursing on his cottage floor. Then Mo discovered something even worse--when he read Capricorn and his henchmen out of Inkheart, he accidentally read Meggie’s mother in.Meggie, now a young lady, knows nothing of her father's bizarre and powerful talent, only that Mo still refuses to read to her. Capricorn, a being so evil he would "feed a bird to a cat on purpose, just to watch it being torn apart," has searched for Meggie's father for years, wanting to twist Mo's powerful talent to his own dark means. Finally, Capricorn realizes that the best way to lure Mo to his remote mountain hideaway is to use his beloved, oblivious daughter Meggie as bait! Cornelia Funke’s imaginative ode to books and book lovers is sure to be enjoyed by fans of her breakout debut, The Thief Lord, and young readers who enjoyed the similarly themed The Great Good Thing by Roderick Townley.
