Inkheart

I must admit when I was a young girl, I slept with my books. I would tuck my Nancy Drew mystery (or any other book) and slid an arm under my pillow to prop it up a little bit while at the same time felt for it to ensure that it was still there. So when I read that sentence at the start of Inkheart, I got really excited. I am sure a lot of book-lovers are like that as well. Come on, admit it! *GRIN*

In Inkheart, Meggie’s father, Mortimer Folchart (Meggie calls him Mo for short), has a peculiar ability. Characters literally come to life when he reads aloud from books.
