Meggie Folchart’s life changes when she realizes her dad, Mo the bookbinder has an amazing power: when he reads aloud, he can bring characters from books into the real world. But the downside is: if something comes out of the book, something from the real world goes in.
When Meggie was young, her dad was reading a book, Inkheart, and many of the characters came into the real world. But, Meggie’s mother, Teresa was sucked into the book. Meggie and Mo’s adventure searching for the book Inkheart and its original author takes them through Europe. But will they be able to set everything straight again?
The thing I really liked about this book was how Mo was about to read characters out of a book. Ever since I read Inkheart I thought that was the most astounding thing ever, because I would love to do that myself (except for the part of something from the real world being sucked in). Also, I liked how this book was originally written in another language, German, and was translated into English.
