Inkheart,
by Cornelia Funke, is a fantasy book about a girl named Meggie and her father Mo. One cruel night, Mo reads aloud from Inkheart, and a evil ruler named Capricorn escapes the boundaries of the book, landing in their living room.

Capricorn is the evil villain in this book. He is very greedy. He steals and kills just for gold.
The reading strategy I used when reading this book was "summerizing." This strategy allowed me to better understand the book since, by reviewing, I was able to pick-up on important information.

I enjoyed reading Inkheart. I think the plot of the book is amazing. I also enjoyed the ending because it had a happy ending since Meggie was reunited with her mother. Capricorn held Meggie's mother hostage, who was ultimately freed by Meggie and Mo. This book is very well-written and very discriptive.

The author of this book is Cornelia Funke. Other books by her include Inkspell, Inkdeath, Dragon Rider, and many more. Inkheart was on the New York Times Best Seller list, and it was a U.S.A Today Bestseller. I also read the Dragon Rider by this author, which I thoroughtly enjoyed.
