This book is about a man (Mo) and his daughter (Meggie) and what happens when, after they read a book, something in that book comes to life. Mo read aloud out of a book called Inkheart and his wife disappeared (because when something comes out of the book something has to go in) and a group of bad men came out and they wanted to get back home, so they hunted Mo down to try to get the book back and make him read them back into it.
Also, a man called Dustfinger came out with his pet pine marten (with horns) called Gwin who also wanted to get back home. This book is very exciting and it’s a good book for people who like to imagine that there are other worlds out there.
Recommended reading age: 9 years and above. Grown-ups would like it too. (If you are only 9 years old, do not be afraid that it is 534 pages long). You will like this book, if you like very long books! I can’t think of another book that it is like. It is unique.
How it makes me feel when reading it: it draws me in so much that I just felt like I was in the book and it would last for ever.
