Meggie wants to know why the man called Dustfinger calls her
father by the strange name ''Silvertounge''. Meggie''s father
Mo, is equally determined that Meggie is not going to get involved. If Mo had his way there wouldn''t be a story, and soon enough Meggie is caught up in the world of Dustfinger and his foes.
Meggie finds out about her vanished mother, the different world that Dustfinger comes from and why her
father never reads aloud. Mo''s wonderful voice brings words to life - literally.
He has read Capricorn, the villain of the novel "Inkheart" right out of the pages of the book. Now that Capricorn has established himself, he wants revenge.
Meggie and Mo travel around Europe, both as the chasers and the chased. Capricorn''s violence and mutilation has to be brought to an end.
"Inkheart" is a story about the
power of words and the power of stories. It''s also a story about family and love. For those who just want "a nice book", it''s not that heavy, but it has enough depth to attract those who want something to get their teeth into. I would reccomend it to anyone!
