We would love to publish more reviews by younger readers of world literature. Thank you Isabel for this excellent review! Of course, readers are always an important part in a story, but in Inkheart you are almost sucked in, another main character in the book. When they’re happy, you’re happy, when they’re scared, you’re scared, when they’re sad, you’re sad. The characters are so friendly, it’s hard not to get along with them. With Inkheart, you can escape to other worlds, forget about what’s going on on earth and journey to Capricorn’s village, or Elinor’s house, anywhere on the Inkheart planet. It’s an action-packed adventure that gets you on the edge of your seat. Before they know it, they are pushing cars off hills, attacking wicked henchmen, plotting evil plans and even burning houses down! Can Meggie and the gang save Dustfinger’s home, prevent the book from evil and escape Capricorn’s wicked clutches? Find out in Inkheart… Why I liked the book: However, no adventure is ever a straight line, and the gang find themselves in a lot more trouble than they expected. With the help of her great aunt Elinor, Dustfinger and his new admirer Farid, they venture on a journey to defeat malicious Capricorn and save the book and Mo.

When they take Mo away, Meggie wants her revenge. And now, Capricorn wants to capture Mo, and use his power for himself. When Meggie was just three, her father, Mo magically read out three characters from a book named Inkheart: petty Dustfinger, Evil Basta, and worst of all, Capricorn. By Cornelia Funke, translated from German by Anthea Bell
