Inkheart by Cornelia Funke

Meggie, the heroine, is a 12-year-old girl whose mother has disappeared and is left her with her dad, Mo. When a stranger knocks on their door they are forced to flee to Meggie's aunty’s home where Mo is forced to reveal a secret Meggie had never known.

Inkheart is about a magical book that when Mo reads it out loud, the people come out of the story. In other words, what happens is that the characters from the world inside the book cross over into Meggie’s world. Mo does not want these people in this world as some of them are quite dangerous, but he can’t – or thinks he can’t - read them back into their own world.

The main characters, as I have mentioned, are Mo and Meggie’. Meggie’s father Mo is a bookbinder by trade. Meggie is a 12-year-old girl whose mother has disappeared and she is now left with her dad. Both have a great love for books. Another key characters is dustfinger. He is a interesting character. Because there is more to him than meets the eye.

The other character that I like is Capricorn
