The second book in Cornelia Funke’s internationally celebrated

trilogy - magical, thrilling and mesmerising.

‘I don’t think I’ve ever read anything that conveys so well

the joys, terrors and pitfalls of reading’ Diana Wynne

Jones

Although a year has passed, not a day goes by without Meggie thinking

of the extraordinary events of Inkheart, and the

story whose characters strode out of the pages, and changed her

life for ever.

But for Dustfinger, the fire-eater, torn from his world of words,

the need to return has become desperate.

When he finds a crooked storyteller with the magical ability to

read him back, he sets in motion a dangerous reversal that sees

the characters of Inkheart transported to a charmed Inkworld,

about to be fought over by rival rebels and princes …

A thrilling and magical series about stories and the

imagination they inspire
