My Favorite Fictional Character

My favorite fictional character is Meggie (the girl reading the book) from the books Inkheart, Inkspell, and Inkdeath. In this book, Meggie is the daughter of a "silvertongue". A "silvertongue" is a person where if they read aloud, makes what they were reading come out of the book. The problem is that when something comes out of the book, something else has to go back in to replace it. So Mo (Meggie's dad and also the one holding the book with a serious look), one day, read his wife into the book by mistake. So, I think that Meggie is a very brave character because she is growing up without a mother and I think that is a very tough thing to go through. So soon, a person that Mo read out of a book called Inkheart, turns evil and wants to burn all of the Inkheart books because he likes this world so much. All of the copies are burned except one, which Mo miraculously discovers. They go on this huge adventure trying to escape Capricorn (the bald guy with the writing on his face).

In the second book (Inkspell), Meggie is so desparate to try to get her mother back that she reads herself into Inkheart to find her. When Mo figures out that Meggie has gone into the book, he follows her in. They soon get wrapped up in problems with an evil king within the book called the Adderhead. I think that Meggie was super brave in this book and I think that she symbolizes the stubbornness and rebellion of the typical female teenager.

Finally, in the third book (Inkdeath), Farid (Meggie's boyfriend from the book Arabian Nights) dies. Farid's firedancer/friend/tutor dies in his place. Meggie reads herself back into Inkheart to take Dustfinger (the firedancer guy who saved Farid) back from the dead. Apparently, in this book, it has been done before. In the end, Meggie breaks up with Farid, saves Dustfinger, and returns back home with a man (whom she later marries) who later created the idea of an airplane.

And all is happily ever after!

P.S. There is a movie made after the book (poster above)!
