Inkheart

Inkheart was written by Cornelia Funke and the copyright is 2003. This book was originally published in Germany in 2003 and then later that year, the english version was released. Inkheart is a book about magic and villains that escape the covers of a book one day and are released into the world, trapping Meggie's mother inside.
