'A breathtakingly fast-moving tale.' The Independent
Meggie loves stories, but her father, Mo, hasn't read
to her since her mother disappeared.
When a stranger knocks at their door, Mo is forced to reveal an
extraordinary secret – when he reads aloud, words come alive,
and dangerous characters step out of the pages.
Suddenly Meggie is living the kind of adventure she has only read
about in books, but this one will change her life for ever ...
A thrilling and magical adventure about stories and the
imagination they inspire.
Cornelia Funke is the critically-acclaimed, internationally
bestselling author of Dragon Rider and The Thief
Lord.
Also a major feature film from the makers of The
Lord of the Rings, starring Andy Serkis, Paul Bettany
and Brendan Fraser!
The adventure continues in Inkspell, Inkdeath and
a brand new adventure set in the Inkworld, The
Colour of Revenge!
