12 year-old Meggie lives with her father, Mortimer, a bookbinder. Mo never reads stories aloud to Meggie because he has a special gift: when he reads a book aloud, the characters come out of the book and into the real world.

One night, when Meggie was a small child, Mortimer was reading aloud from a book named Inkheart when an evil villain named Capricorn, his aide Basta, and a fire-eater named Dustfinger escape from the book and into their living room. At the same time, Mo's wife Resa gets trapped within the book.

Twelve years later, Capricorn is on a hunt to find and destroy all copies of Inkheart and use Mo's abilities to gain more power for himself in the real world. Meggie discovers her father's secret and, along with the help of Dustfinger and Meggie's eccentric aunt Elinor, fights to free her father and destroy Capricorn.

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.
