"A piece of wood broke apart in the flames, spiting out glowing sparks at her feet."The fire-eater Dustfinger needs to go back home.When he finds someone who reads him home, Farid plunges in after him and so does Meggie. But when something or someone goes into the book something has to come back out. Who is going to come out? If you read the book you will be suprised throughout.When I first read Inkspell,by Cornelia Funke, I was emmediatlety dragged into it. The main character, Dustfinger is very adventerous in this book, as are most of the other characters. In Inkspell my favorite character is Mortimer,Meggies dad. I like him alot because in the book the story revolved around him. This book is Fiction,but it is still very enjoyable. Another reason why I like this book is because I like fiction and it is an amazing book. I also thnk it builds your imagination because you have to picture things in this book to be able to understand it. I recommend this book for advanced reading, for teens, and adults who love fiction. I hope you read this book. It will drive your imagination out of this world!!!Book Review: Inkspell

Summary: 4 Stars
One year after the events of "Inkheart" Meggie and family are happily settled in Elinor's house full of books. Mo and Resa are happily catching up on ten years of marriage lost, and Meggie is getting used to having a mother. However, her heart's desire is to see the Inkworld, and soon business left unfinished will sweep her and those she loves there in less than ideal circumstances.
Cornelia Funke has done it again with this thrilling tale about the power of words and the magic of story telling. Although not quite as good (just barely) as Inkheart this story will grip you from page one and not let go until the last word. I can't wait to see how the story ends in "Inkdeath."
For parents, this is intense for young readers and a few adult words are thrown in that your younger readers may not be ready for. This is PG-13 stuff, but for your discerning teen or adolescent this would be really good to read at the same time. There is a lot of fodder for discussion here that might be helpful as a parent.
Book Review: Exciting Sequel
Summary: 4 Stars
Cornelia Funke masterfully introduces the world of Inkheart in this sequel to her aptly-named first book of the series. For lovers of Inkheart, the thirst to learn more about what goes on in the world which Dustfinger and the fire-raisers come from is quenched. Pulling the book from our world into a whole new world, one where mourning princes and supersticious kings rule, where fairies roam in the Wayless Wood, where street performers find refuge with a man called the Black Prince, Funke introduces an entirely new dimension to her already fascinating series. Characters try to rewrite the story in the book within the book. A battle brews. Romance blossoms in a world of no tomorrows. Funke's lyrical prose and intriguing plot twists create a book well-worthy of its predecessor. She introduces new and complex sides to characters that we only thought we knew. Inkspell truly epitomizes the belief that good fiction creates its own reality.Book Review: Lose yourself in a good book
Summary: 4 Stars
Ignoring her own better judgment, Meggie does the impossible, reading herself into Inkworld. She's planning a sort of sightseeing vacation, a brief tour to see the fairies, talking trees, and other amazing elements described to her so vividly by her mom. Just like Gilligan's, Meggie's own little tour turns into something quite different. Once again, author Funke creates a place out of time, populated with many of the characters from Inkheart (Basta, Dustfinger, Farid, Mo), and adding many more, eg, a good prince and an evil one, strolling players, Dustfinger's wife and daughter). Once again, bonds of loyalty, love, selflessness drive and shape the energetic plot. Inkspell is a nonstop adventure set in a cruel, feudalistic society, where the written word, properly wielded, can be the most powerful force of all. Recommended for all who enjoy effective, credible fantasy fiction.
