Inkheart tells the story of Meggie and her father Mo. One dark and stormy night their lives are turned upside down with the arrival of a stranger. He calls Mo âSilvertongue' and is there to warn them that someone named Capricorn was on his way. So begins the story of how Meggie's dad could read characters out of books, and how one day he accidentally read Meggie's mother into a book. Now one of the characters he read out of a book, a sadistic killer, wants to keep Mo a prisoner to do his bidding and make him the most powerful man on earth.
A book lover's delight, Inkheart has opening epigraphs to each chapter that call to mind many beloved children's books. There are a number of familiar characters read out of books too. This is a children's book, however like Harry Potter many adults will enjoy it also. The adventures of Mo, Meggie, Aunt Elinor, and two characters from books, Dustfinger and Farid, who want to go âhome', will linger long after the last page is turned.
