yup, it's the fictional work of Cornelia Funke, Inkheart. The story mainly revolves around Meggie Folchart, a 12 year old girl, discovering her hidden and unusual talent of reading aloud and bringing characters from a book to life, which she inherited from his father, Mortimer Folchart. Mo originally did one before but he never told her. He brought Dustfinger, Basta, Capricorn and Gwin to life from the book called "Inkheart"..
His father, Mo, was an avid reader. [just like her ^-^] His job was to clean and repair old books, more like a bookbinder. Life for her was simple except for the fact that she longs to see her mother. Whenever she asks about her, his father usually changes the subject. [suspicious...] Her life changes drastically when she discovers her unusual gift, which leads her to her parent's past...and maybe even telling her of her long-lost mother...
That's all I can tell.. No more spoilers. I've read the book last year:
Here's the fun part, a movie based on the book will be released on January 30, 2009. ^-^
Eliza Bennett - Meggie Brendan Fraser - Mo, a bookbinder. Paul Bettany - Dustfinger, a fire-eater. Rafi Gavron - Farid, the Arabian boy, who came out of the book 1001 Nights. Jim Broadbent - Fenoglio, the author of Inkheart. Helen Mirren - Elinor Loredan, Meggie's bookworm aunt. Andy Serkis - Capricorn, the villain. Sienna Guillory - Resa. Jamie Foreman - Basta, a knife-lover and Capricorn's right hand servant.
Iain Softley will direct the film.
But still, I recommend that you read the book first... Because I feel a lot of alterations and deleted scenes in the movie.

oh yeah, we just started our upcat review. 'Twas quite HARD really.. I can't imagine they have those kind of questions. =( I really need to study...
HER name is...Florence... But she's commonly known as [EminA] and [FlominA] on the web..
Officially sixteen BUT is too short for her age.. [honestly haha ;p]
Is currently enjoying the life of a senior high school student, as well as the eldest daughter [but looks small enough to be taken as the youngest =p] of the family.
Her hobby/ies ?
She likes playing the piano, doodle-art, photography, layout-designing, dreaming, reading, inventing, photoshop-ing, travelling, manga-editing and more. :D
She's got a lot of made-up names [most of which are made by her classmates :p] ! But she uses EminA on the net. She's prone to discovering new things and makes out the most weirdiest of conclusions. She can sometimes be different because she's attracted to things other people don't. She likes a lot of interests, which is the sole reason she can't stick with what college course she's gonna take ;p. She can be witty and funny but also moody at the same time..She can sometimes be unnaproachable but really, she's easy to talk with. Recently discovering her love for the piano and photography, she starts to make vids of her piano playing and made a deva account for her photographs. She's also in lieu with Enchantment Scanlations recently, working as a newbie editor.
"...And now that I've updated my layout.. I'm thinking of coming back to blogskins :D.."
