Twelve-year-old Meggie learns that her father Mo, a bookbinder, can "read" fictional characters to life when an evil ruler named Capricorn, freed from the novel "Inkheart" years earlier, tries to force Mo to release an immortal monster from the story.

Meggie learns that her father's gift of being able to bring to life people and things he reads about in books has been passed on to her and tries to use the power to rescue her mother, who was pulled into the pages of a fantasy novel when Meggie was a child.

Now thirteen, Meggie "reads" herself into Inkworld, where she, her family, and the characters in the book face chaos and danger as the original creator of the world frantically tries to redirect the story.
