About the Inkworld Trilogy series
Cornelia Funke's Inkworld trilogy (Inkheart) is a magical fantasy for book lovers, beginning with one of the great premises in children's fiction: Mo, a bookbinder, has the power to read characters out of books and into the real world — and once read a villain out of a story called Inkheart, losing his wife into the pages in exchange.
Funke's series is a love letter to reading, full of bibliophile detail, danger and the porous border between stories and life. It grows darker and more immersive as it moves into the Inkworld itself.
Read in order — "Inkheart," "Inkspell," "Inkdeath" — as Meggie and Mo are drawn ever deeper into the living story.
