Answer 1

Here you are:
"Inkheart (original title: Tintenherz) is a young adult-child fantasy novel by Cornelia Funke, and the first book of the Inkworld trilogy.
The book is about a girl named Meggie whose life changes dramatically when she realizes that her father, a bookbinder named Mortimer (nicknamed Mo), has an unusual ability: when he reads aloud, he can bring characters from books into the real world. Meggie and Mo's adventure takes them throughout Europe, particularly Italy, and brings them into contact with many unusual characters.
In the story of Inkheart, there is a story within a story: Mo originally brought four of Inkheart's characters to life (Italy) while reading aloud from a novel which is also called Inkheart - Basta, Capricorn, Dustfinger, and Dustfinger's pet marten, Gwin. Dustfinger, a fire eater, desperately wants to return to the world of the fictional novel; Capricorn, the villain of both the "real" and "imaginary" stories, wants Mo (and later, Meggie, who shares her father's unusual gift) to summon an evil monster forged from the ashes of the murdered known as the Shadow, from the fictional novel; and Basta is Capricorn's right-hand man.
On more than one level, Inkheart is a book about books and the love of reading. Meggie and Mo are both avid readers; Meggie has carried a box (made by her father) of her favorite books with her all of her life. But also, Inkheart references many other works of literature. In addition to the characters from the fictional novel Inkheart, Mo also brings to life a boy (named Farid) who belongs in The Book of One Thousand and One Nights, and makes gold appear from Treasure Island. Meggie's reading causes Tinkerbell from Peter Pan to appear, and she also conjures up the soldier from "The Steadfast Tin Soldier," a Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, at the request of the Magpie, Capricorn's mother. Later, at the request of Fenoglio, she also solicits the soldier back.

Character Histories

Basta- One of Capricorns most loyal servants, very superstitious and also brings his knife everywhere he goes. Fears fire greatly. Always wears long sleaves because he was once burned up to his shoulders by fire.
Capricorn- The antagonist in the story. Full of evil, he was taken out of Inkheart unintentionally by Mo.
Dustfinger- One of the main characters in the story who is a fire-eater. Dustfinger was taken out of Inkheart at the same time Capricorn was, however, unlike Capricorn he has a strong desire to go back to the land of Inkheart. He even betrays his friends in an attempt to reenter the book.
Elinor- Another one of the main characters. She has an unhealthy obsession with collecting books, however when her collection is destroyed she is able to recover, but she does try to seek vengeance.
Farid- A boy who was read out of the story One Thousand and One Nights by Mo. He eventually became a close friend of Dustfinger because they shared a similar origin. He has a soft spot for Meggie.
Fenoglio- The author of Inkheart (not to be confused with Cornelia Funke), in the end he creates a new story for Meggie to read which causes an end to both Capricorn and the Shadow.
Gwin- Dustfinger's pet marten, he is special because he has horns unlike most martens. He was read out of the book with Dustfinger.
Mortola- AKA The Magpie, Capricorns mother and servant.
Meggie- Mo's daughter, she also inherits the ability to read outloud, and bring the book to life. In the end she reads Fenoglio's new story to bring an end to Capricorn.
Mortimer Folchart- AKA Mo/Silvertongue, father of Meggie and also a skilled bookbinder. He has the ability to read things out of their stories. This power creates Capricorn and mainly causes trouble for everyone.
Resa- Meggie's mother, and she is beautiful. Dustfinger has a liking for her, even though he has a wife back in the Inkworld.
The Shadow- Capricorns loyal assistant, nonhuman, and supernatural, he is made out of the ashes of his victims and serves as Capricorn's personal assassin. In the end he winds up being the cause of Capricorns death."

Inkheart Book Summary

Answer 3

Inkheart an enchanting fantasy tale about a girl called Meggie. Meggie is a girl the age of twelve who lives in Italy with her father, Mortimer, but Meggie has always called him Mo. Mo is a bookbinder who loves books and so does Meggie, although unlike most fathers he has never read out loud to her since her mother "left".When Meggie can't sleep she lays down with a book and reads by candlelight, even though Mo has told her many times not to, when she is sad she reads, and when she has nightmares she runs to mo's room and reads, nothing allows her to fall asleep better than a book and the sound of Mo's soft breathing. At night she falls asleep with a book under her pillow and swears that sometimes she can hear it whispering to her. Mo has always told Meggie the truth about everything or so Meggie thinks.




thank you <3
