Inkheart is exciting! I would read it if I were you. It's about a girl whose father can read people out of books, except when you read someone out...someone goes in. Meggie's (the girl) mother gets read into the book when the villains come out. I think you should also read Inkspell the sequel to Inkheart and Inkdeath the sequel to Inkspell.
i herd thats is a good book is it ?

When we read great stories, a book comes to life and the characters leap off the pages. Can you imagine that really happening? It does here. Dustfinger appears and brings an ominous warning to Mo, a book restorer, and his 12-year-old daughter Meggie that Capricorn wants his book, Inkheart. Mo takes Meggie to her eccentric, curt adorer of books, Aunt Elinor, to avoid Capricorn and his notorious men. However, Dustfinger betrays Mo, and they are all taken to Capricorn's village. Meggie discovers that her father was the one who read Capricorn into this world and sent her mother instead into the book of Inkheart. Her father's "gift" was the reason why he never read aloud to her as a child. Capricorn soon discovers that Meggie also has the gift, and he wants her to read his "Shadow" from the book. With the help of the Fenoglio, the author of Inkheart, they discover that they can destroy the perfectly evil Capricorn. Each chapter begins with a quote from another book, which gives insight into what will take place within that chapter. Many similes are used, which add more depth to Meggie's feelings, giving normally bland descriptions animation and intense feelings. There is adventure, suspense, anxiety, hope, love, and strong family bonds that all strengthen this adventure about the love of reading books. Highly Recommended.
