How would you feel if when you read aloud from a novel, the characters came alive in front of you whilst simultaneously someone from your world was dragged into the story and disappears? Excited or terrified? This is what had happened to Meggie when her father read the book Inkheart to her and her mother 9 years ago. Suddenly her mother was gone, and the evil Capricorn had appeared. However, Meggie remembers nothing of this until a fire-eater called Dustfinger appears at their house. Suddenly they are leaving to stay at her Aunt Eleanor’s book filled house and her father won’t say why. Has Capricorn finally has tracked down Meggie’s father? What evil does he want him to read out of Inkheart now? I loved all the characters in this book, and it gripped me right until the end. This is a book and a world that I really didn’t want to leave. I can’t wait to get stuck into the next one in this trilogy!
