Inkheart is an interesting adventure story. The main character, Maggie, lives with her father, Mo. Maggie has no idea where her mother is, but her father knows perfectly well what happened to her! Mo has special powers when he reads. He can bring a character out of a book! When reading Inkheart to his wife one night, the villain in the story comes out of the book, and his wife goes into the book! It is as simple as that. No one knows which chapter or page she went into. It remains a mystery. So, Mo has to find the evil villain, Capricorn, and read him back into the book. It is a long, frightening journey. Will her mother come out of the book when Capricorn goes back in?

Inkheart is a very exciting book filled with many twists and turns. The plot of the story was very exciting. It kept you wondering whether or not Meggie would find her father. Meggie, the main character, goes on a lot of adventures- from a Villain's Village to an author's home. I especially enjoyed the ending because it was filled with bad guys who disappeared! You'll have to read on to find out if what they destroyed was brought back to existence. This was a great book, you won't be able to put it down.

Inkheart is about a girl named Meggie and her father, Mo, who can read characters out of the book and bring them into the real world. One night, when Meggie is three years old, Mo reads aloud Inkheart to Meggie's mother and brings out Capricorn, an evil ruler, Basta, Capricorn's faithful servant, and Dustfinger, a man who can't be trusted. Here's a twist- as the three characters come out of the book, Meggie's mother goes in! What is Mo going to do about Capricorn and the other characters, let alone Meggie's mother?
