Inkheart is a fantasy novel by Cornelia Funke that brings one a new appreciation of books. This story follows Maggie and her father Mortimer as they go on a mysterious journey that she later finds out is a search for her mother. Her father has a gift, a gift that when he reads out loud the words come to life. But when something leaves the books, something must go into it. It's that fact that begins all their problems; when one night people came out of a story that weren't supposed to and a loved one is taken in. This sends them on a journey to find the rare book that will bring their family back together. Through this search they're kidnapped, taken to places that are like a fantasy land, and befriend people, from the real world and books alike.
