Inkheart

Probably to Mr Pollicutt's relief this is not a vampire book :) It is a book about people being able to read storybook characters to life instead. This book is a movie and I'm pretty sure all of you have watched it. So Mo can read people out of books and one day he sees Dustfinger (a fire-eater from the actual book Inkheart) and Dustfinger wants him to read him back into his book. However, Mo cannot do this. So he takes Meggie (his daughter) to Elinor's house (Mo's wife's auntie). There they stay for a while and then Capricorn's (really really REALLY evil guy from the same book Dustfinger's from) men come and take Mo away. (the story is very different) Then, Meggie and Elinor go out to find him with Dustfinger. They finally reach Capricorn's village and get captured. They witness Mo reading a young boy names Faird out of a book who constantly believes that he is in a bad dream. Dustfinger helps them escape and they run to the nearest village. There, Mo tells Meggie about her mother and how she was read into the book. The two of them then set off to look for Fenoglio, the author of the book hoping that he has a copy of the book Inkheart. I do not wish to tell you anymore of the book to make you read it :D

I think that this book is SOOOOOOOO different from the movie. I actually started reading Inkspell (the second book) thinking that I already knew what happened in the movie but everything in the book was so different than what happened and I was so confused so I had to go and borrow Inkheart from a friend and read it before I understood it. (Meggie's mom doesn't get her voice back in the book O.o) Please read this book. It's sooo good. And it's not about vampires. ^^
