The Inkheart Trilogy: Inkheart, Inkspell, Inkdeath2008

Meggie loves stories, but her father, Mo, hasn't read aloud to her since her mother mysteriously disappeared. When a stranger knocks at their door, Mo is forced to reveal an extraordinary secret-when he reads aloud, words come alive, and dangerous characters step out of the pages. Suddenly Meggie is living the kind of adventure she has only read about in books. But this one will change her life forever-especially when she slips into the dark, enchanted Inkworld. Reading has never been so exciting ... or dangerous!
