Inkspell

Back for another children's book! Inkspell is Cornelia Funke's sequel to her book Inkheart. Overall, I found Inkheart more enjoyable in its entirety, as Inkspell has kind of a cliff-hanger ending. I strongly suspect that Ms. Funke will add a third book to this series to wrap up the loose ends. The characters and world created in this "Ink" series are rich, varied, and imperfect in their own ways. I think when the hero characters have regrets or other flaws, the story they interact in is much more vivid.

Must read for those who liked Inkheart. Highly recommended for Harry Potter fans and fantasy fans (as long as you don't need elves in your fantasy books).
