Inkworld

Mo, a gentle bookbinder with an extraordinary secret, and his daughter Meggie love books, yet he has not read aloud to her since her mother disappeared years ago. After a mysterious stranger visits them, Mo tells Meggie they must go into hiding. But why? - and from whom?

Meggie is still thinking of Inkheart, the book whose characters came alive. Dustfinger, the fire-eater who was read out of his world, is desperate to return to the tale and finds a crooked storyteller who can read him back.
