TUESDAY, February 19th at 7PM: More INKSPELL

Author Cornelia Funke is one of today's most beloved writers of magical stories for children. She is the author of The Thief Lord, Dragon Rider, Inkheart, Inkspell, Inkdeath, the Ghosthunters series, When Santa Fell to Earth, and Igraine the Brave. She lives with her family in Los Angeles, California, in a house full of books.

 "... Inkspell should serve as a special treat for fans of the first book, as characters from Inkheart who have found themselves in the "real world" (if there is such a thing) find themselves read back into their own mythic, word-spun world--along with some of our favorite "real-world" characters. As with the previous book, Funke's greatest accomplishment here is telling such a rich and involving (and fun!) story, while still managing sweet, subtle commentary on the nature of words and meaning. Expect a tantalizing finale, too--as Funke says, "No reader will forgive me the ending, though, without a part three."

<sup>Meggie got what she wanted.  She wanted to see the wonders of Inkworld once more: brilliant fairies, and seemingly sparkling enchantments of nature.  Now she wants to go home.  She needs the author of Inkworld, Fenolgio, the write her back into the real world.  Will he find the words in time?  What other surprises lay around the corner.  For if there is one thing that is certain, it is that in Inkworld nothing happens the way you plan it, and dark forces are always at work, danger always lurks to foil the best laid plans of the purest hearts.

TUESDAY, January 15th @ 7pm: INKSPELL ~ Part 2

Just a few chapters into Inkspell, Mo (a.k.a. "Silvertongue") sagely says to his daughter, "Stories never really end, Meggie, even if the books like to pretend they do. Stories always go on. They don't end on the last page, any more than they begin on the first page."

Inkspell should serve as a special treat for fans of the first book, as characters from Inkheart who have found themselves in the "real world" (if there is such a thing) find themselves read back into their own mythic, word-spun world--along with some of our favorite "real-world" characters. As with the previous book, Funke's greatest accomplishment here is telling such a rich and involving (and fun!) story, while still managing sweet, subtle commentary on the nature of words and meaning.  -- from Paul Hughes, Amazon.com Review
