    The second book in Cornelia Funke's fantasy trilogy follows Meggie and her father Mo as they become trapped in the magical world of the Inkheart story itself. When Mo is literally read into the book's narrative, Meggie must navigate a world of fire-eaters, princes, and dangerous magic to save him. The story explores themes of the power of storytelling, the blurred lines between fiction and reality, and the courage required to face one's destiny in unfamiliar circumstances.
