DescriptionInkheart by Cornelia Funke is a mesmerising tale that blurs the boundary between fiction and reality. This 2020 reissue renews the magic for a new generation of readers. At the heart of the story is Meggie, a young girl who lives a quiet life with her father, Mo. Unbeknownst to many, Mo possesses an extraordinary talent: when he reads aloud, the characters and elements from books come to life. This gift, however, is a double-edged sword, as it also carries unforeseen dangers.
One fateful night, a mysterious stranger named Dustfinger appears at their door, and Meggie's life is irrevocably changed. She is swept into an adventure more wondrous and perilous than any she has ever read. Faced with villains who have literally stepped out of books, and allies who embody the spirit of fictional heroes, Meggie must navigate this treacherous new reality.
Set against a backdrop of enchanting and vividly described landscapes, Inkheart weaves together themes of courage, the power of stories, and the bonds between parent and child. The reissue features beautiful illustrations by the author herself, adding a layer of visual delight to the gripping narrative.
Funke's masterful storytelling captivates the reader, making every page turn a thrilling discovery. Fans of fantasy and adventure will find themselves enchanted by Inkheart, as it invites them to believe in the extraordinary power of books and the adventures they can unlock.
