Inkheart

All librarians love books. Inkheart, the movie, has books...books being repaired, books being carried, books being hunted for, books on shelves, books being burned (boo), and, here's the rub, books being read. Turns out certain human beings, when they read aloud, can make books come to life. The catch is that if something comes out, something else (usually a human) has to go in. And that is why Mortimer "Mo" Folchart, or Silvertongue (a "reader"), played by Brendan Fraser, is searching for a copy of Inkheart by Cornelia Funke. By the way Mo, the Nesmith Library has a copy. Just look on the shelf for J FUN. Mo unwittingly reads several characters out of Inkheart until he realizes what he has done. Paul Bettany really shines as Dustfinger, one of the characters Mo has "read out", who only wants to go back home. Don't miss Helen Mirren as Aunt Elinor, she is spectacular! This great fantasy story has lots of adventure and plenty of special effects that will keep the whole family captive.

Check it out... Nesmith Library has Inkheart both in print (J FUN) and audio book (J AB and J AB/CD).
