Imagine this: You are only three. Your father is reading aloud one night to your mother. Suddenly, three mysterious and dark characters escape the boundaries of the book and land in your living room and your mother disappears.
Meggie lived an average life to her standards; or so she thought.
One of the characters that escaped the book, Inkheart, comes back to your father and turns your world upside down. Soon she unreveals the secret her father, Mo has kept from her for years since that night: when he reads aloud, he can lure characters out of books and into their world. But a character Mo read out of the book that dreary night wants to use Mo's ability for his own dark purpose.
Join Meggie on her adventure that might just cost her life.
