                 If you love books with good and evil in them then Inkheart is the book for you!  It starts out as a fine, whispering rain.  Meggie is lying in bed trying to get to sleep.  Meggie is a young girl living with her father Mo in Italy.  Mo is a bookbinder that has a very special book called Inkheart that someone wants. The man that wants Inkheart is a very cruel man named Capricorn.  Somehow Capricorn finds Meggie and Mo.  He gets what he wants including Mo! What will Meggie do to get her father and the book back?  Reading Inkheart has encouraged me to read more fantasy stories from now on.  While I was reading Inkheart I felt danger, happiness, anger, and sorrow.  I recommend this book to anyone who loves an adventure that can take you far away.  Inkheart is a great fantasy that many people will love!
