Inkheart by Cornelia Funke
I would say that Inkheart is the girl version of Eragon or Harry Potter. A friend told me that it was originally written in German and set in Germany. German's consider it to be their version of Harry Potter. I agree. I read the book because I wanted to watch the movie. Based on past book/movie experiences, I wanted to read the book before the movie. Plus we have had the next book, Inkspell sitting on our bookshelf, but I wanted to read them in order. Although it's a bit long, this is an entertaining story of magic, books, reading, and suspense. Many of the main characters actions center around books and reading - a heartening theme for those of us who value literacy.

I have found Cornelia Funke's writing to start too slowly for me. I think she is really great for younger readers, though. I did finish Dragon Rider, and really enjoyed it. I also have the book Igraine the Brave in my class library. I cheated and watched the movie this summer, but then I wanted to read the book, so I'm trying to forget most of the movie so I can enjoy it all over again when I read the book. I started the book over the summer, but then Twilight got in the way, and I had to finish those four books first. :-) I'm going to work on Inkheart again later this semester, though. It makes me think a little of The Neverending Story, by Michael Ende. I loved that book!
