Inkheart by Cornelia Funke


A guest review from Teen Room Staff Jeremy!

In Funke's first installment of her Inkheart series we meet Mortimer and Meggie, a father and daughter duo with a very unique talent. The two of them have the ability to read characters and objects out of any book they read, so long as they read it out loud. That is how Mortimer released Capricorn and Dustfinger, two of the most important characters in the book. Capricorn is the antagonist who is bent on finding Mo to read out one of his most evil and cruel pets. Dustfinger was unwillingly torn out of the book, and as a result pursues Mo relentlessly to try to make him read Dustfinger back into the book.

Full of drama and some humor, I'd definitely recommend this book to just about anyone. This is an incredible lead in to the rest of the series.
