Voice of the Library!


Text ColourVoice of the Library! Hello St Johns! You may not know but I am going to review some books for you so a visit to the library isn't such a pain when it comes to looking for good books. Welcome to Voice of the Library!

My first book is a stunning tale called 'Inkheart'. It is written by an incredible author called Cornelia Funke (she has also written other books- look out for 'Dragon Rider'!). Inkheart is about Meggie and her loving Dad, Mo. Mo is a silvertongue, the name given to someone who can read characters into and out of books. It all started when Meggie's Mum, Resa, got read into a book to take the place of Dustfinger, who got read out of that same book. Dustfinger hates earth and desperately wants to go home to his family, so would do anything to get back. Even create a deal with Capricorn,a character from the book that Dustfinger came out of. Capricorn is a cruel hearted man who strikes fear into the hearts of the brave. Will Meggie and Mo get back Resa, and succeed in sending Dustfinger back to his mysterious world? I would recommend this book to all bookworms like me! If you like it, there is a sequel called 'Inkspell' and after that, 'Inkdeath'.
