Of course there are evil men who want to use Moe’s ability for their gain, and we all wonder if Meggie will ever be reunited with her mother if Moe refuses to ever Read again. Meggie’s mother is lost somewhere in the world of Inkheart.Ī fabulous adventure ensues as one of the main characters that Moe read out all those years ago, Dustfinger, searches him out- desperate to be read back into Inkheart- where his beloved still is. When we reads the written word aloud, characters and beings literally can jump out of the pages of a book- but only at a price- something from our world must swap places and go into the book. As the story progresses, we learn that years ago, Meggie’s mother disappeared while Moe was reading a book aloud- and we discover that Moe is one of only a few people who can read stories to life. Moe repairs books for a living, but both of them love curling up with a good book over and over. We meet our heroine, Meggie, and her dad Moe, who definitely seem like the odd pair of people. The story was like nothing I’d ever read or even thought of before. It sucked me right in, and it was a very quick book to read- as I said, I read it in an afternoon. But curiosity got the best of me, and one day it followed me home from the library. Of course, I wondered about the book, but honestly, it was junior fiction- not something I dig into unless I’m reading with the kids for school. I had actually seen the movie over a year before, and really enjoyed the movie. I read Inkheart in an afternoon in the dead of winter. Inkspell is nothing without either its prequel or its sequel, and if someone tried to read Inkdeath alone, well, they would be extremely lost. Inkheart, while it left the reader wondering at the end, could stand alone as a great book.
I’ve debated whether I should review these books all together as a trilogy or separate them, and review Inkheart alone, and then Inkspell and Inkdeath together- because that’s how they read.
