''Inkheart'' (original title: ''Tintenherz'') is a young adult literature fantasy novel by Cornelia Funke about a girl named Meggie whose life changes dramatically when she realizes that her father, a bookbinder named Mo, has a special power: when he reads aloud, he can make characters from books come to life. Meggie and Mo's adventure takes them throughout Europe, particularly Italy, and brings them into contact with many unusual characters. In ''Inkheart'', there is a story within a story: Mo originally brought many of ''Inkheart'''s characters to life while reading aloud from a novel which is also called ''Inkheart''. Some of these fictional characters who have been brought to life include Dustfinger, an illusionist who desperately wants to return to the world of the fictional novel; Capricorn, the villain of both the "real" and "imaginary" stories, who wants Mo (and later, Meggie, who shares her father's unusual gift) to summon an evil monster from the fictional novel; and Basta, Capricorn's right-hand man. On more than one level, ''Inkheart'' is a book about books and the love of reading. Meggie and Mo are both avid readers; Meggie has carried a box of her favorite books with her all of her life. But also, ''Inkheart'' references many other works of literature. In addition to the characters from the fictional novel ''Inkheart'', Mo also brings to life a boy who belongs in The Book of One Thousand and One Nights and makes gold appear from Treasure Island. Meggie's reading causes Tinkerbell from Peter Pan to appear, and she also conjures up the soldier from "The Steadfast Tin Soldier," a Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale. When he reads aloud, Mo can both bring characters to life and cause people in the real world to disappear into the book's universe. Meggie learns she also shares this unusual attribute. Because of her pity for the tin soldier, Meggie tries something new. She rewrites the original, sad ending of "The Steadfast Tin Soldier," then reads it aloud. The tin soldier returns to the book and has a happy ending. Before Capricorn has forced Meggie to read the evil monster out of ''Inkheart'', Meggie invokes the aid of the book's original author to rewrite ''Inkheart'''s ending so that the monster, instead of helping Capricorn with his evil plans, will instead destroy Capricorn. This plan succeeds. When Meggie reads this new ending aloud, the book's author disappears into his own creation.
