Imagine having a voice so wonderful, so incredible that when you read aloud from a book  some of the characters would appear in this world.  Meggie’s father, Mo, a bookbinder, has this gift.  But this gift also comes with a curse for when one character from the Inkheart‘s world appears in our world, someone from our world disappears into Inkheart’s world.  Two characters, Dustfinger and Capricorn, have been released from Inkheart  into Meggie’s world and Meggie’s mother has disappeared.  Capricorn and his gang are searching for Mo.  They have an evil plan for our world and Mo’s gift is needed to set the plan in motion.

Follow up this great read with the sequel, Inkspell.  Meggie reads herself in to Inkworld and a new adventure begins.
