![]() In the first volume of the trilogy, a few characters have the ability to "read" a character out of a book and into today''s world. *STAR* INKSPELL, by Cornelia Funke (UNCORRECTED PROOF)- BOOKLIST Readers who enjoyed Funke''s Inkheart (2003) are in for a treat with this sequel, a stronger book than its predecessor. While the permeability of the membrane between imagination and reality may form the base of the novel, Funke delivers more than enough action, romance, tragedy, villainy, and emotion to keep readers turning the pages- and waiitng for the sequel the cliffhanger promises. Woven in and around the breakneck adventure is the provocative notion that words, and the meanings they carry, are plastic and ever susceptible to change. Fenoglio, the author of the fictional Inkheart, takes on a tragic role, as he sees his godlike idyll threatened when his words and characters take on lives of their own. The metaliterary musings begun in the previous title become grander here, as each character grapples with the possibility of challenging the fate that has been written. Dustfinger is ecstatic to be back home after his long exile Meggie is thrilled to explore the story that has seduced her with its beauty Mo and Resa want only to bring their daughter Meggie back. ![]() ![]() Kirkus 9/1/05 One year after the events of Inkheart (2003), one by one, the characters find themselves read from the real world into the Inkworld. ![]()
