Inkheart is a fantasy series that explores the magic of books and the ability to bring characters from stories to life. The main characters, Mo and Meggie, find themselves in dangerous situations as characters from books enter the real world. This series examines the power of stories and the love of literature. Readers can expect adventures and thrilling moments.
Meggie loves stories, but her book-binding father, Mo, hasn't read aloud to her since her mother mysteriously disappeared some years ago. When a stranger who knows her father knocks at their door, Mo is forced to reveal an extraordinary secret – when he reads aloud, words come alive, and dangerous characters step out of the pages. Suddenly, Meggie is living the kind of adventure she has only read about in books, but this one will change her life for ever.
A year after the events of INKHEART, Meggie can't forget the book that brought characters to life. Dustfinger, desperate to return to his story, finds a storyteller who can read him back. He leaves his apprentice Farid, who then seeks Meggie, leading them both into a tale that evolves unexpectedly.
Life in the Inkworld has been far from easy since the extraordinary events of Inkspell, when the story of Inkheart magically drew Meggie, Mo and Dustfinger back into its pages. With Dustfinger dead, and the evil Adderhead now in control, the story in which they are all caught has taken an unhappy turn. Even Elinor, left alone in the real world, believes her family to be lost-lost between the covers of a book. But as winter comes on there is reason to hope-if only Meggie and Mo can rewrite the wrongs of the past and make a dangerous pact with death.
