Overview

From internationally acclaimed storyteller Cornelia Funke, this bestselling, magical epic is now out in paperback!

One cruel night, Meggie's father reads aloud from a book called INKHEART-- and an evil ruler escapes the boundaries of fiction and lands in their living room. Suddenly, Meggie is smack in the middle of the kind of adventure she has only read about in books. Meggie must learn to harness the magic that has conjured this nightmare. For only she can change the course of the story that has changed her life forever.
This is INKHEART--a timeless tale about books, about imagination, about life. Dare to read it aloud.

Twelve-year-old Meggie learns that her father, who repairs and binds books for a living, can "read" fictional characters to life when one of those characters abducts them and tries to force him into service.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly

Tackling Funke's (The Thief Lord) meaty, intricately plotted tale of magic and books, Redgrave colors her reading with appropriately varying degrees of suspense, revelation and drama. Twelve-year-old Meggie, a self-proclaimed bookworm, finds it odd that her bookbinder father, Mo, has never read aloud to her. But when a mysterious man named Dustfinger appears in the rainy shadows of the garden one night, Meggie begins to unravel the secret her father has kept all her life: when Mo reads aloud from books, the characters come to life and appear before him. This magical power proves dangerous, as characters from a certain book-Inkheart-are on the loose and after Mo. Many twists and turns that will particularly intrigue those who love books unfold before Meggie ultimately learns that she and her father have something in common when it comes to magic. Redgrave's voice takes on growling, sometimes whispery qualities as she portrays villains; a brighter inquisitive tone prevails as Meggie makes observations and interacts with the other characters. The end result is a satisfying listen, perfect for long winter evenings by the fire. Ages 11-up. (Oct.) Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.

Meggie is a rather mature 12-year-old who lives with her father, Mo. She even calls him Mo and has for as long as she can remember. One thing she does not remember is how one night when she was just 3 years old, while her father was reading aloud to Meggie, her mother vanished from the room, out of the very bed she had been sitting in. Mo has a special gift (which he passes down to Meggie) of reading characters out of books when he reads aloud. As her mother disappears, three men, Capricorn, one of the most dangerous characters; Basta, his cruel and heartless servant; and Dustfinger, a man who plays with fire, stand across the room from Mo and Meggie. They are characters from Inkheart, the book Mo had been reading aloud. After Mo chases them out of his house, he is left with Meggie; for nine years it is just the two of them, and for nine years Meggie listens intently when Mo tells stories of her mother's mysterious and exciting trips around the world. Meggi, believing her father, hasn't realized her mother is trapped in a book. Filled with twists and turns, ups and downs, this fantasy will leave you moved, especially at the reunion of three people separated for many years. Most likely in the end you will feel as Meggie and her Aunt Elinor did, that books are better left under their covers and not meant to come alive. 2003, The Chicken House, 554 pp. Ages young adult.

Children's Literature

Cornelia Funke, popular author of The Thief Lord, creates an astonishing magical world in this novel. When a mysterious stranger suddenly appears at Meggie's door, the quiet life she has led with her father, Mo, vanishes. This stranger is linked to her father's past, and Meggie discovers that Mo has been keeping a secret that involves the disappearance of her mother, a sinister man named Capricorn, and Meggie herself. As she and her father flee from their home, Meggie learns that when her father reads aloud, he is able to bring characters out of the pages and into their world. However, Mo's gift has a terrible price: every time something comes out of a book, something must go into it, even if it is something he loves. Now Capricorn wants to use Mo for his own nasty deeds and decides to use Meggie as bait. Hidden away, Meggie must wait for her father to save her from Capricorn and his hideous plan to bring an indestructible evil to Earth. In this magical world, Meggie has to discover that all actions have consequences and that sometimes the things we long for most are right in front of us. Beginning each chapter with a quote from a famous book, Funke gives the reader ample foreshadowing and creates a false feeling of what is to come. For example, when Dustfinger betrays Meggie to Capricorn, the quote for that chapter comes from C.S. Lewis' novel The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe: "The reason there's no use looking, said Mr. Beaver, we know already where he's gone! Everyone stared in amazement. Don't you understand? said Mr. Beaver. He's gone to her, to the White Witch. He has betrayed us all." This novel would be excellent for use in the classroom to assist with the taskof teaching foreshadowing, though it is also a wonderful coming of age story in which the female protagonist has to find the courage to survive in the magical world in which she found herself. 2003, The Chicken House/Scholastic, Ages 10 to 15.

School Library Journal

Gr 4-8-Characters from books literally leap off the page in this engrossing fantasy. Meggie, 12, has had her father to herself since her mother went away when she was young. Mo taught her to read when she was five, and the two share a mutual love of books. Things change after a visit from a scarred man who calls himself Dustfinger and who refers to Mo as Silvertongue. Meggie learns that her father has been keeping secrets. He can "read" characters out of books. When she was three, he read aloud from a book called Inkheart and released Dustfinger and other characters into the real world. At the same time, Meggie's mother disappeared into the story. Mo also released Capricorn, a sadistic villain who takes great pleasure in murdering people. He has sent his black-coated henchmen to track down Mo and intends to force him to read an immortal monster out of the story to get rid of his enemies. Meggie, Mo, Dustfinger, and Meggie's great-aunt Elinor are pursued, repeatedly captured, but manage to escape from Capricorn's henchmen as they attempt to find the author of Inkheart in the hope that he can write a new ending to the story. This "story within a story" will delight not just fantasy fans, but all readers who like an exciting plot with larger-than-life characters. Pair this title with Roderick Townley's The Great Good Thing (2001) and Into the Labyrinth (2002, both Atheneum) for a wonderful exploration of worlds within words.-Sharon Rawlins, Piscataway Public Library, NJ Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.

Kirkus Reviews

It is hard to avoid preciosity in books about books, but here Funke pulls off the feat with vigor. Meggie, an avid reader, lives alone with her father, a bookbinder; her mother disappeared years before. When a disturbing stranger named Dustfingers intrudes on their peace, she gradually discovers that the barrier between books and the real world is permeable and that an ill-fated read-aloud years ago unleashed Capricorn, who "would feed [a] bird to [a] cat on purpose . . . and the little creature's screeching and struggling would be as sweet as honey to him." Funke takes her time with her tale, investing her situations with palpable menace and limning her characters with acute sensitivity; she creates in Meggie a stalwart heroine who never loses her childish nature even as she works to contain the monster and bring her mother back. Master translator Bell takes the German text and spins out of it vivid images and heart-stopping language that impel the reader through this adventure about narratives-a true feast for anyone who has ever been lost in a book.

Meet the Author

Cornelia Funke

CORNELIA FUNKE is Germany's bestselling children's author after J. K. Rowling and R. L. Stine. In the fall of 2002, she made her brilliant debut in the English-language market with the release of The Thief Lord, the fantastical New York Times bestseller which Kirkus called "One spellbinding story." Ms. Funke lives in Hamburg, Germany with her family.

Biography

One of the most successful children's authors of our day, multi-award-winner Cornelia Funke started out as a social worker focused on the needs of disadvantaged youngsters. She enrolled in a post-graduate course at the Hamburg State College of Design, and left social work in the mid-1980s to begin a career as a children's book illustrator. However, the books she was commissioned to work on were prosaic and unimaginative, and she soon decided to try her hand at writing stories of her own.

An ardent fan of such childhood classics as Tolkien's Ring Trilogy and the tales of C. S. Lewis and J. M. Barrie, Funke was naturally drawn to the world of fantasy. She explained her attraction in a 2006 interview with the genre blog Writer Unboxed: " [T]he wonderful thing about fantasy is that it is the oldest way of story telling -- to clad what we feel and fear into disguises and make them more clear, to pass the borders of our every day life and use our imagination for travels into unknown worlds and unlimited experiences."

Although Funke was an immediate success in her native Germany, she was largely unknown outside Europe -- that is, until a young bilingual fan wrote to a British publishing firm inquiring why her favorite author's books were not available in English. The publisher hunted down what was, at the time, Funke's most recent book (The Thief Lord) and, in 2002, published it in translation. Already the recipient of several literary honors in Europe, the engaging YA fantasy went on to win the 2002 Book Sense Book of the Year Award.

One by one, as they are translated into English and published in America, Funke's wonderful stories have become huge bestsellers. Her ingenuity, imagination, and artistry shine in stand-alone novels like Dragon Rider and the Inkworld Trilogy -- Inkheart (2003), Inkspell (2005), and Inkdeath (2008). She has also produced picture books for younger readers, including The Wildest Brother, Pirate Girl, and Princess Knight. Fans who worry that this natural-born storyteller will run out of ideas can take solace in an author interview conducted in 2008 by Britain's Daily Telegraph. Asked if she had many more books in mind, Funke replied, "Oh yes, I am quite sure I won't be able to write them all down in a lifetime."

Good To Know

In German, Funke means "spark."

In 2005, Time magazine named Cornelia Funke among its "100 Most Influential Men and Women."

Funke claims to have written her popular Ghosthunters series "for boys who don't like to read."

When asked if she writes in German or English, Funke replied in a 2008 interview in The Washington Post: "I write in German. I've practiced this language for 47 years. I will never be a master in any other language. Anthea Bell, an old lady with cats, does the translation. She's amazing, and her translations are very, very true to my language."

Unusual, but addicting!

I read this book during the winter months, in front of the fireplace... this book really pulled me into the story, like I'd been swept off along with Meggie and all. It has a very unusual plot, the characters are strange, but I couldn't put it down! It begins to unfold in such a way you feel opted to answer the character's questions (the many there are!) All in all, it's difficult to explain. But I loved it! This book was recomended for ages 12... both my friend and I read it (we're 16) and fell in love for it! I am not sure why this book received bashing from the previous reader, but it is so imaginitave. Something very fantasy-oriented, and that's what makes it so much fun!

Bummer!

Because of this book's high sales and excellent 'word of mouth', I was expecting an outstanding novel. Perhaps those high expectations is why I feel so let down. I felt Funke's ideas were origional and interesting, but the story she told didn't really take me on the adventure I was hoping for. It was also difficult for me to relate to any of the characters because they were pretty much one-note. Even though a lot of people seem to like it, I believe Inkheart is best suited towards younger readers.

If you want a great book for both adults and children, check out the Fablehaven series by Brandon Mull and the Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan.

Fantastic Book

I'm seeing a few bad reviews for this book. I don't intend everyone to like it, but some opinions are just rude and should be kept to self. I personally liked this book a lot. It's a little slow at first, but give it time, it's get great. Inkspell, the second in the trilogy, is even better, so PLEASE just give it a chance!

Inkhearted

The sweet main character is a little girl who loves two things most in the world, her father and books. Suddenly a man from her father's past appears and takes them both into a great and terrifying adventure. Moe(Her father) was always a good man who could read a story so well that it would literally leak off the pages and fill the room. Yet she was always denied an audience for these sessions, because the last time he had tried her mother got sucked into the book in place of a trickser of stories and fire. Now she must rescue everyone and most importantly her father.

My Absolute Favorite Book in the World!

Ever since I first read this book several years ago, I've been completely in love with it, and everyone I've introduced it to has loved it as well. The plot is engaging, the characters believable, and the real-world elements were believable as well. I can't say enough about the characters- they seem as real as anyone I've ever met- when I was reading I could almost hear them in my ear. This book has so much wonderful imagery, dialogue, and scenes that paint pictures in your mind. It's listed as a children's book, but I'm a teenager, and I love it! (My mother's reading it, and she likes it too- there's really no age limit)

It was OK. (I know I'll get bashed for this)

This story feels very long and wasn't quite what I was expecting from the description and what I'd heard about it. I figured it would have a little more action, but the pacing was almost plodding. However, Funke can write emotions and make them feel tangible. The love between father and daughter is a palpable thing which was surprising to me. It's unusual to find that strength of emotion in a book; usually it is just understood or inferred from behavior or dialogue but Funke makes it REAL. The story itself runs very slowly and does not begin with Mo (the father) making book characters come alive. That has already happened and this story is about dealing with the consequences. I probably won't read the rest of the series, but overall it was OK.

Good Book!!!!!!!

This was a good book. I didnt think that writers could write a book about books. But trust me Cornelia Funke did it and did it well! This was the best and only book about books I've read and I reccommend it to you to read it. It's action packed, thrilling book. Makes you want to read more of it and guess what? The 2nd and 3rd book is out already so im getting them to read and you wouldnt blame me if you read them too!

InkHeart

Come, Come, Come one in all and enter the magical world of Inkheart. Come and meet all the goblins, gools and witches that live in this mystical novel. If you dare to read it out loud, there may be very dire consequences! In this thrilling adventure, Meggie is a nice girl traveling with her father, Mo, who is a bookbinder, or as his daughter calls him, ¿a book doctor¿. Meggie says he can ¿paint pictures in the air with his voice¿, because he and his daughter could read story book characters to life. Dustyfinger, Capricorn, and Basta were read out of their stories and Meggie became completely fascinated by the world from which they came. Mo became very troubled and had to be more cautious than ever with this rare magical ability. Dustyfinger is a fire eater whom Mo accidentally read out of the pages of Inkheart. He has lived in our world for ten years and would risk anything to go back home to the Ink world. Capricorn, the brutal leader of a gang of mercenary fire-raisers, was read out of the pages of Inkheart as well but, unlike Dustyfinger, Capricorn enjoyed his time in this world and made it his business to burn every copy of Inkheart in an attempt to avoid ever returning to the story. Read the book and find out the troubles that Mo encounters in trying to return these characters back to their mystical worlds, set everything back to normal, and avoid his daughter Maggie from becoming more involved in the magic of Inkheart.
I have never read a story like Inkheart, it is truly one of a kind. It allows you to escape to a world of fantasy and draws you into its pages not allowing you to put it down. I would recommend this book to people of all ages who love fantasy, drama and many surprises in between.
The talented author of this novel, Cornelia Funke, does a great job involving you in the story and making you feel like you¿re living it. She is also the author of Inkspell and Inkdeath, sequels to Inkheart. With her novels, this Germany born writer has become a best seller and now enjoys her life with her children in Los Angeles, California.
DARE TO READ ALOUD!

This was one of the most enchanting and engrossing novels that I have heard thus far! Meggie, Mo, Dustfinger, and even Capricorn lept of the pages and invited me into their own story. This is an amazing adventure that you won't be able to put down!

spectacular fantasy

Funke does it again, but this time with a fantasy that will keep you enthralled and hoping it will not end. What if characters could be 'read out of' books and come to life? I am sure there are some you wouldn't want to meet in real life and that will give you a hint at some of the story line in this fascinating book.

Stunning

One of the reasons that I love this book is how it is written; Cornelia Funke's greatest talent is probably her vivid imagination and her wonderful ability to express what she thinks through words. I LOVE the plot of the story because there is so much going on and there is so much more to it than in some other books. Even if they are different, there is always the same underlying story: the bad guy or force and the good guy who always wins in the end. In this story, she brings the books to life through the extraordinary reading abilities of Mo, Meggie's father and hero. She makes it vivid and real, with unexpected twists and turns and sometimes questioning that the story really will " end happily ever after". By giving the bad guys victories( sometimes suspensefully often! ) she keeps the attention of the reader and gives it a stunning sense of reality. And if you are like me in that you "lose youself " in the story, it definetly catches! : )The romance between Meggie and Farid was also very good; it wasn't overdone to the point where it was really mushy and disgusting, but enjoyable and certaintly material that teenagers can relate to. It is a great series and gets better as it goes on, drawing you deeper into the danger, thrill, and romance of the plot. I think that Inkspell is my favorite -the climax of the series-but both it's prequal and sequal are a must-read. Overall, even though there were a few rather awkward spots and places where nothing ( meaning no fights or close calls or deaths or kisses or violence ; ) happened, it is a very captivating book and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. Truly another work of art by Cornelia Funke!!!!!

Cornelia Funke is an excellent author. I have read the whole Inkheart Triology series and they were fantastic. The creativity she puts behind these stories is unbelievable. There is suspense, family, romance, thrill, and adventure all wrapped up together to make these three outstanding books!

Some books should be tasted, some devoured but only a few should be chewed and digested throughly.

I think this book should be nominated for the best book ever along with the other books in the trilogy. I found this book very thrilling. Don't even get me started on the characters. Miss Funke does a the best job on the plot, characters, and pretty much everything else that happens in the book. To my suprise the book has a few unexpected turns, but that doesn't mean I didn't like it. The Inkheart trilogy is one of the few books I have read a second time. And believe me when I say it is hard to make me read a book a second time. If you are going to watch the movie you should read all three books first. If you liked Inkheart, Inkspell, and Inkdeath then you will like or love these other books.
