This book picked up directly where Inkspell left off, with most of our characters still stuck in the Inkheart book. The land of Inkheart was in chaos, and everything had gone so far out of the control of what the author originally intended. Life for all the characters in this story was threatened by a ruling tyrant, and Mo had to make a deal with Death itself in order to change this cursed story. Sound confusing at all? Well it was!

Every reader and writer dreams of disappearing into their favorite story, but in reality what would that actually look like? The world inside of the Inkheart book is both beautiful, and dangerous. When Meggie and her family find themselves stuck in the Inkworld, they find that life there is not what they were expecting. Just like any world, there are good things and bad, good people and bad.

We’ve all wanted to dive into the world of a book, but what if the world in the book came back out? While classified as a book for “Young Readers”, Inkheart actually contains some pretty dark material. There is fire, violence, and even death, which may make the story too intense for younger readers. That being said, it is also a great adventure story with great characters and real stakes.
