Inkheart Mo, a gentle bookbinder with an extraordinary secret, and his daughter  Meggie love books, yet he has not read aloud to her since her mother  disappeared years ago. After a mysterious stranger visits them, Mo tells  Meggie they must go into hiding. But why? - and from whom? Inkspell Although a year has passed, not a day goes by without Meggie thinking of  INKHEART, the book whose characters became real. But for Dustfinger,  the fire-eater brought into being from words, the need to return to the  tale has become desperate. When he finds a crooked storyteller with the  ability to read him back, Dustfinger leaves behind his young apprentice  Farid and plunges into the medieval world of his past. Distraught, Farid  goes in search of Meggie, and before long, both are caught inside the  book, too. But the story is threatening to evolve in ways neither of  them could ever have imagined. Inkdeath The Adderhead--his immortality bound in a book by Meggie's father,  Mo--has ordered his henchmen to plunder the villages. The peasants' only  defense is a band of outlaws led by the Bluejay--Mo's fictitious  double, whose identity he has reluctantly adopted. But the Book of  Immortality is unraveling, and the Adderhead again fears the White Women  of Death. To bring the renegade Bluejay back to repair the book, the  Adderhead kidnaps all the children in the kingdom, dooming them to  slavery in his silver mines unless Mo surrends. First Dustfinger, now  Mo: Can anyone save this cursed story?
