Inkheart

Kendall Jent

A novel beyond comparison. Inkheart by Cornelia Funke is the book to read after Harry Potter. Filled with inspiring characters, awesome scenery, and a plot worthy of the Nobel, Inkheart is a true classic.

The book starts off with Meggie, a teenage girl who abousetly adores reading. Raised by her father Mortimer (Mo) Meggie has grown up with only the books around her-that is until Mo recieves a surprise visit by an old friend. Dustfinger is a man marked with knife wounds who claims to be from Inkheart, a storybook in Mo's collection. After the visit where Mo denies something for Dustfinger both Meggie and Mo's lifes are thrust into peril.

The book takes you on a whirlwind adventure filled with secrets, depair, and a unique collection of books. I would seriously recommend reading Inkheart,because it's a fantasy that will never be forgotten, especially considering it's movie counterpart will appear in theaters January 2009.
