Meggie is the daughter of a revered bookbinder called Mo whose peaceful existence is one night shattered by the arrival of Dustfinger--a shadowy man with a mysterious link to Mo's past. Mo and Meggie are soon on the move, running from something that threatens everything they hold dear. But the past inevitably catches up with them and Mo is forced to reveal to his daughter for the first time his terrible secret. He has the ability, or curse, to breathe life into any story he reads and make the characters come alive. Just such a character, the sinister Capricorn, is after Mo to ensure that he stays alive and is never returned to the pages from which he was sprung. And, of course, he'll stop at nothing to guarantee success.
Inkheart is a treat and echoes of its many colourful characters, nail-biting drama and unrelenting invention will stay with the reader for a long time. It's also a novel for people who really love books. (Recommended for ages 10 and over.) --John McLay -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.
Meggie, now a young lady, knows nothing of her father's bizarre and powerful talent, only that Mo still refuses to read to her. Capricorn, a being so evil he would "feed a bird to a cat on purpose, just to watch it being torn apart," has searched for Meggie's father for years, wanting to twist Mo's powerful talent to his own dark means. Finally, Capricorn realizes that the best way to lure Mo to his remote mountain hideaway is to use his beloved, oblivious daughter Meggie as bait!
Cornelia Funkes imaginative ode to books and book lovers is sure to be enjoyed by fans of her breakout debut, The Thief Lord, and young readers who enjoyed the similarly themed The Great Good Thing by Roderick Townley. (Ages 10 to 15) --Jennifer Hubert -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine andere Ausgabe: Gebundene Ausgabe .

Reading the Inkheart, those ingredients are only stronger now, bound with the adventure in which Mo, a "book doctor" (you will understand his job better after reading the book) and his daughter, Meggie, found themselves suddenly against villains from storybooks (I will stop here regarding the content to avoid spoilng the fun of reading it - but I'm sure you will want to know more about the story now).
What is more important to be found here is how Cornelia Funke describes the treasure that can be found in the world of books - the world of endless journeys through the ink on the pages. Mo said to Meggie once:
" If you take a book with you on a journey, an odd thing happens: the book begins collecting your memories. And forever after you have only to open that book to be back where you first read it. It will all come into your mind with the very first words... yes book are like flypapers. Memories cling to printed page better than anything else."
You will find more beautiful words from Funke within the 500 pages story.
The story was originally written in German, but the English translation is well-done to the artistic aspect.
