Inkheart
By Cornelia Funke
Cornelia Funke's inventive and original Inkheart is a must-have for any fantasy collection. It is a magical story about the power of a good book.
Meggie and her father, Mo, read books aloud so well that they can summon characters out of their books. But when Mo reads a dangerous villain out of the unhappy tale of Inkheart, their world spirals out of control. Helped by a desperate fire-eater named Dustfinger and an eccentric book collector named Elinor, Mo and Meggie must battle the evil they unleashed from Inkheart.
An excellent book full of unexpected twists and turns, The New York Time's Best-Seller Inkheart is an incredible work of fantasy. Surely one of Funke's finest works.
