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.

Work Description
Wenn Bücher lebendig werden ...
In einer stürmischen Nacht taucht ein unheimlicher Gast bei Meggie und ihrem Vater Mo auf. Er warnt Mo vor einem Mann namens Capricorn. Am nächsten Morgen reist Mo überstürzt mit Meggie zu ihrer Tante Elinor. Elinor verfügt über die kostbarste Bibliothek, die Meggie je gesehen hat. Hier versteckt Mo das Buch, um das sich alles dreht. Ein Buch, das Mo vor vielen Jahren zum letzten Mal gelesen hat und das jetzt in den Mittelpunkt eines unglaublichen, magischen und atemberaubenden Abenteuers rückt, eines Abenteuers, in dessen Verlauf Meggie nicht nur das Geheimnis um Zauberzunge und Capricorn löst, sondern auch selbst in große Gefahr gerät.
