This was also one of my favorite books growing up. This novel is about a young girl named Meggie. One night, her father, a bookbinder, reads aloud from Inkheart. When he reads, something magical happens, and an evil ruler, Capricorn, from the story comes alive leaving the pages into their living room. A strange man, Dustfinger, comes to Meggie's home, and the next day Meggie, her father, and Dustfinger go to Meggie's aunt's home. Later, Meggie's father is captured by a strange group of people taking along Inkheart with them. Meggie is later taken to where her father is captured at Capricorn's. Meggie actually has the real copy of Inkheart. Meggie learns the story of what is happening when her father tells her that he used to have a special gift in which she good bring stories to life as she read them. However, when something came out of the story, someone else went in. The story continues with fight and confusion, and in the end, Meggie has to learn how to control the magic released through her father's storytelling.
