Inkheart is a captivating and imaginative story that transports readers to a world where books come to life. The plot revolves around a young girl named Meggie and her father Mo, a bookbinder with a unique talent for bringing characters from books into the real world.
The characters are well-developed and complex, with realistic flaws and strengths. Meggie is a relatable protagonist, struggling to understand the secrets her father has kept from her and trying to navigate the dangerous world of Inkheart. Mo is a fascinating character, haunted by his past and grappling with the consequences of his actions.
What I love most about this book is its vivid descriptions of the settings and characters. The world-building is rich and immersive, with detailed descriptions of the magical elements that bring the story to life. The writing style is engaging and lyrical, making it a pleasure to read.
The plot is full of twists and turns, keeping the reader engaged and eager to turn the page. The themes of family, love, and sacrifice are explored in a thoughtful and thought-provoking way, adding depth and complexity to the story.
Overall, I highly recommend Inkheart to anyone looking for a captivating and well-written fantasy novel. It is a must-read for fans of the genre, and will leave readers eagerly anticipating the next installment in the series.

Good Book, Missing Pages
The story and writing are excellent. Cornelia Funke never disappoints. It definitely has some intense scenes and themes, and the villain is quite creepy and cold so sensitive kids might need to hold off on this book for a while. My 12 year old would be okay but I think it might be a bit much for my sensitive 10 year old. However, we’ve had this book for a few months and I’m just now getting around to reading for pleasure because I’m sick and I got this far only to realize 33 pages are missing. Egads! How does that even happen? Amazon helped to make it right I just wanted to review so anyone ordering can be on the lookout to make sure their copy is whole before their return window closes like mine did. Silly me, not thinking to make sure all pages were accounted for when I received the book. ><

If I could give it a million stars I’d do it in a heartbeat

It was my favourite as a child. My absolute favourite and I’m so happy to have it again—especially in this stunning edition. Despite being a children’s book, I feel like the writing is so beyond that. It’s gorgeous, and Cornelia Funke is an absolute master of storytelling. I admit, I was scared, being in my 20’s now, that this book wouldn’t live up to my memories and that I’d surpassed being part of the audience for it. That it would read too young.
No. It seems I was worrying for nothing. Inkheart is SO accessible and has such rich, vivacious writing I struggled to put it down and stop reading.
If you’re going to buy anything anytime soon, please let it be this. You won’t be disappointed.
