![]() but a young kid who’s never been exposed to any sort of violence before, whether in books or in real life, this book might prove a little disturbing. This book is amazing, don’t get me wrong, and it isn’t likely to scare an older child. I couldn’t look at a knife the same way for months. I first read Inkheart when I was seven, and though I did enjoy it, in retrospect I was probably too young the scarier villains gave me nightmares and I was a little disturbed by the (implied) violence like the part where Dustfinger, a scar-faced man, was describing how he got those scars. I just want to mention that while this book is certainly easy enough to read for a younger child, I personally think it’s a little dark for young children. I would recommend it to anyone over the age of 11 or 12, even adults. Suddenly, Meggie is smack in the middle of the kind of adventure she has only read about in. And believe me when I say it is hard to make me read a book a second time. This is the story of young Meggie, who lives a quiet life alone with her father Mo, a bookbinder, until one cruel night when Mo reads aloud from Inkheart, and an evil ruler named Capricorn escapes the boundaries of fiction and lands in their living room. ![]() ![]() And it has that little something extra, that je ne sais quoi that just ignites something in my heart and makes this world all the more special. The Inkheart trilogy is one of the few books I have read a second time. It has everything anyone could want in a fantasy novel rich settings, complex characters, an exciting plot, danger and suspense. ![]()
