About this product

Product Information

Although a year has passed, not a day goes by without Meggie thinking of INKHEART, the book whose characters became real. But for Dustfinger, the fire-eater brought into being from words, the need to return to the tale has become desperate. When he finds a crooked storyteller with the ability to read him back, Dustfinger leaves behind his young apprentice Farid and plunges into the medieval world of his past. Distraught, Farid goes in search of Meggie, and before long, both are caught inside the book, too. But the story is threatening to evolve in ways neither of them could ever have imagined.

Reviews
Kirkus 9/1/05 One year after the events of Inkheart (2003), one by one, the characters find themselves read from the real world into the Inkworld. Dustfinger is ecstatic to be back home after his long exile; Meggie is thrilled to explore the story that has seduced her with its beauty; Mo and Resa want only to bring their daughter Meggie back. The metaliterary musings begun in the previous title become grander here, as each character grapples with the possibility of challenging the fate that has been written. Fenoglio, the author of the fictional Inkheart, takes on a tragic role, as he sees his godlike idyll threatened when his words and characters take on lives of their own. Woven in and around the breakneck adventure is the provocative notion that words, and the meanings they carry, are plastic and ever susceptible to change. While the permeability of the membrane between imagination and reality may form the base of the novel, Funke delivers more than enough action, romance, tragedy, villainy, and emotion to keep readers turning the pages- and waiitng for the sequel the cliffhanger promises. *STAR* INKSPELL, by Cornelia Funke (UNCORRECTED PROOF)- BOOKLIST Readers who enjoyed Funke''s Inkheart (2003) are in for a treat with this sequel, a stronger book than its predecessor. In the first volume of the trilogy, a few characters have the ability to "read" a character out of a book and into today''s world. In this book the process is reversed, and most of the earlier characters are transported to the magical, yet perilous and sometimes brutally violent land of the fictional book, also called Inkheart. Young Meggie has longed to visit that world, but once she travels there she realizes the consequences of her choice and the seeming impossibility of putting things right in either place. With the help Fenoglio, the book''s author, who now lives in the secondary world, she connives to turn events toward a good outcome. Though some readers will simply enjoy the adventure story, other will be intrigued by Fenoglio''s reflections on the impossibility of controlling what he has created. As before, the book''s flow shifts from one group of characters to another as the plot moves swiftly. An indispensable key to the many characters precedes the story. Readers will enjoy the many quotes at chapter headings from writers as diverse as Margaret Atwood, David Almond, Kate DiCamillo, Harper Lee, Pablo Neruda, Phillip Pullman, J.K. Rowling, and T.H. White. In short, a booklover''s book. SLJ 10/05 FUNKE, Cornelia. Inkspell. tr. from German by Anthea Bell. 647p. Scholastic/The Chicken House. Oct. 2005. Tr $19.99. ISBN 0-439-55400-4. LC number unavailable. Gr 5 Up--This sequel begins a year after the conclusion of Funke''s popular Inkheart (Scholastic, 2003). In this fantasy world, certain readers have the power to bring characters out of books--and send them back. Meggie and Farid, apprentices to the fire-eater Dustfinger, follow him to the Inkworld, the land of the book-within-a-book, Inkheart, after he has been read back into its story by a mysterious man named Orpheus. Orpheus uses his powers to read Mortola and Basta, some of the villains of the first volume, into the story, along with Meggie''s parents. In Inkworld, Meggie enlists the help of Fenoglio, the original author of Inkheart, to help create a new future for her parents and herself as palace intrigues, war, and the Silver Prince threaten. The story moves along at a rapid pace, from Farid and Dustfinger''s original meeting with Orpheus to Farid''s warning of Mortola''s return to the shift of action to the Inkworld and the heightening conflict in both worlds. Expanding on the ideas behind Inkheart, Funke explores what might happen if authors try to change the world they have created. Familiar characters and those new to this volume are clearly drawn. This is an involving story that will draw readers smoothly to its conclusion and le, "Bequiling...skillful...the story seems to be sprinkled with some magical fairy dust." - The New York Times Book Review, Kirkus 9/1/05 One year after the events of Inkheart (2003), one by one, the characters find themselves read from the real world into the Inkworld.

  • sparks and burns like one of Dustfinger's magical fires

    This book pulls you into its world before you ever read a single word. The cover is gorgeous, enchanting, and irresistible. And the story is true to the promises it makes. Inkspell begins a year after Inkheart ends. Familiar characters such as Meggie, Dustfinger, Mo, and Farid return for another adventure...this time in the Inkworld. The mood is darker, and the plot and subplots are more complex. Cornelia Funke masterfully gets inside her characters' heads to tell the story from the point of view of a variety of key players. Descriptions and details are beautifully written, with intuitive use of similes and metaphors throughout. This is a suspenseful, captivating, and unforgettable fantasy. Inkspell sparks and burns like one of Dustfinger's magical fires. Its dancing flames will kindle ...

  • Great Read Aloud Adventure

    For fans of Cornelia Funke and "Inkheart" in particular, "Inkspell" is a fun, thrilling, heart-stopping adventure into Inkworld. Meggie, Mo, Resa, Fenolglio, Dustfinger, Farid and all the bad guys enter the world created in Fenoglio's book "Inkspell". There they find out that the story has taken on a life of it's own and no longer follows Fenglio's original story. "Inkspell" is full of secret hideouts, sword fights, spies, minstrels, magic and adventure. My family loved the unexpected twists and turns, never knowing if good or evil would prevail. They also didn't seem to mind the sweet romance that blossoms between Meggie and Farid. We can't wait to begin "Inkdeath" to find out how this fantastic story ends. We read it aloud..the way I believe Ms. Funke intended.

  • Inkspell

    While intended for a children's book, the story and characters are fully developed and believable. Excellent translation, until I read the introduction, I was not aware it was originally written in German. Highly recommend this book, extremely well written and a compelling story line.
