墨水心---Inkheart

One cruel night, as Meggie's father reads a book called Inkheart aloud, an evil ruler named Capricorn escapes the boundaries of fiction and lands in their living room. Suddenly, the two are plunged into the kind of adventure Meggie has only encountered in fiction, and they must somehow learn to harness the magic they were reading about to change the course of the story - before it ruins their lives forever.

    Inkheart is an thrilling new adventure from Cornelia Funke, the international bestelling children's author of The Thief Lord. It's a story within a story, where the imaginary becomes real.

    This is another children story for you to read out loud with your children beside the bed if their English is not so bad at all. 

    Even the publisher of this book, Barry Cunningham, said that he has always loved to read books and dreamt of what would happen if he could join the characters who fire up his imagination.

    But getting what you want can sometimes be dangerous, for those heroes might be pretty unreliable in real life---not to mention those villains would cause what kind of trouble at all. One thing to be sure is that they should be even more scary if you met them in person in reality.

    Inkheart is a story telling just like I mentioned above. There was a little girl who loved books, and so did his father, Mo, a bookbinder. Although he had never read aloud to her since her mother mysteriously disappeared. That was because his father had some magic power on his tongue, for which he was called the Silvertongue by the villians in a book named Inkheart

      The book should be just another story book to Meggie.  After Meggie's mother's disappearing for almost nine years, a stranger named Dustfinger knocks at their door arguing with Mo for something beyond Meggie's comprehension. But in the early next moring, Mo took Meggie with him and tried to run for their lives. They took their shelter under the roof of Meggie's mother's aunt, Elinor.

    But it didn't work out. They all had to confront the villians, Capricorn and his gang. In the end, you would surprise to find that those villians and Dustfinger were all read out from the story book, Inkheart, through his father's tongue. Although. latter on, Meggie was found to have the same gift as well as his father's.

     Capricorn wanted more and he needed the precise talent of Silvertongue (Mo) had, so he confined him. Of course, this confinement caused Meggie and Elinor's trying to rescue him and with the help of the author of the book Inkheart, Fenoglio, they did it. But how?

    Through the help of Fenoglio's rewriting the ending of Inkheart, Meggie and his father saved not only her mother and other minor victims caused from Capricorn. 

    It's a wonderful story and easy for children to read. I mean they are easier than The Nania's serials and those six Harry Potters.

    Most of all, this story should soon to be a major motion picture in the near future. If your children are among the senior high school, I believe they could read this novel easily. So encourage them to find one copy in English edition in the nearby bookstore. Recommend it truely!

    Lastly, what is the title "inkheart" means in this novel. The author explains herself in this novel that inkheart meant to imply that the villain Capricorn's heart is black as ink, a through and through bad guy figure. Now you knows it as well as I do.
