Description
Librarian's Note: This is an alternate cover edition for ISBN-13 9780439709101.
Twelve-year-old Meggie learns that her father, who repairs and binds books for a living, can "read" fictional characters to life when one of those characters abducts them and tries to force him into service.
Characters from books literally leap off the page in this engrossing fantasy. Meggie has had her father to herself since her mother went away when she was young. Mo taught her to read when she was five, and the two share a mutual love of books. He can "read" characters out of books. When she was three, he read aloud from a book called Inkheart and released characters into the real world. At the same time, Meggie's mother disappeared into the story. This "story within a story" will delight not just fantasy fans, but all readers who like an exciting plot with larger-than-life characters.

I love this world! I love these characters! I love, love, love it all! So magical! It made me so happy and excited reading it and really what more can you ask for!? Definitely looking forward to reading the next two books in this series.
P.S. If you've only seen the movie, this one is a classic "the book was 1000 times better" scenario.
