What this book is about
Meggie's father Mo has a rare and dangerous gift: when he reads aloud, characters from books materialize in the real world. Years ago, while reading Inkheart, a villain named Capricorn escaped — and Mo's wife was pulled in to take his place. Funke's beloved fantasy is a love letter to books and reading, adventurous and genuinely menacing.
