Inkheart, Inkspell, and Inkdeath.

C12 just finished reading the Inkworld trilogy by Cornelia Funke.  She loved this series!  She liked Inkspell the best.  The books are in the category of young adult-child fantasy.  As you can see from the pictures of the books below, she really loved them.  They are worn out!  I am including a summary from Wikipedia below.

Inkheart.

Inkspell.

Inkdeath.

Inkheart follows the adventures of a 12-year-old girl named Meggie Folchart whose life changes dramatically when she discovers that her father, a bookbinder named Mortimer (Mo), has an unusual ability; when he reads aloud, he can bring characters and items from books into the real world. When Meggie was three years old, Mo read a book called Inkheart aloud to her mother. In an instant, Meggie's mother (and two cats) vanished into the Inkworld and three men from the novel (two of whom are murderous villains) entered into the real world. Nine years later, these men have come back into their lives and Meggie's and Mo's lives will never be the same. The sequel, Inkspell, was released on October 1, 2005, and the third book in the trilogy, Inkdeath was released on September 28, 2007 in Germany, Canada, and USA.

Inkheart was also made into a movie which we have seen at least 10 times already.  The cast includes Brendan Fraser, Eliza Bennett, Paul Bettany, Helen Mirren, Andy Serkis, and Jim Broadbent.  Here is a youtube video link to the trailer of Inkheart.  The Inkspell movie is expected to hit theaters July 3rd, 2012.  Guess who will be there?

C12 is really hoping that the author of the books somehow sees my blog (like that will ever happen).  She has a lot of questions and ideas for a part 4.  So Ms. Cornelia Funke, if somehow you see this, will you please be so kind and drop us an email?  We would more than LOVE to hear from you.
