Meggie's father, Mo, has an wonderful and sometimes terrible ability. When he reads aloud from books, he brings the characters to life--literally. Mo discovered his power when Maggie was just a baby. He read so lyrically from the the book Inkheart, that several of the book's wicked characters ended up blinking and cursing on his cottage floor. Then Mo discovered something even worse--when he read Capricorn and his henchmen out of Inkheart, he accidentally read Meggie's mother in.

Meggie, now a young lady, knows nothing of her father's bizarre and powerful talent, only that Mo still refuses to read to her. Capricorn, a being so evil he would "feed a bird to a cat on purpose, just to watch it being torn apart," has searched for Meggie's father for years, wanting to twist Mo's powerful talent to his own dark means. Finally, Capricorn realizes that the best way to lure Mo to his remote mountain hideaway is to use his beloved, oblivious daughter Meggie as bait!

Work Description

Wenn Bücher lebendig werden ...

In einer stürmischen Nacht taucht ein unheimlicher Gast bei Meggie und ihrem Vater Mo auf. Er warnt Mo vor einem Mann namens Capricorn. Am nächsten Morgen reist Mo überstürzt mit Meggie zu ihrer Tante Elinor. Elinor verfügt über die kostbarste Bibliothek, die Meggie je gesehen hat. Hier versteckt Mo das Buch, um das sich alles dreht. Ein Buch, das Mo vor vielen Jahren zum letzten Mal gelesen hat und das jetzt in den Mittelpunkt eines unglaublichen, magischen und atemberaubenden Abenteuers rückt, eines Abenteuers, in dessen Verlauf Meggie nicht nur das Geheimnis um Zauberzunge und Capricorn löst, sondern auch selbst in große Gefahr gerät.
