Customer Review: I ordered this book for my 12-year-old son. First, I must say that I use the regular delivery speed, and I received this book in four days, which was faster than I expected. My son loves this book so much. Right after he got this book, he started reading. He finished this book in two days.
Customer Review: A lot of teenage girls are claiming that the book Twilight by Stephanie Meyer "sucked them in from the first page". Funny, because Twilight didn't work for me (but that is neither here nor there)...but Inkheart did. As a lover of books since before I could even read properly, I love the... more info
Customer Review: Inkheart melded the real world and a fantasy world in a way I never thought possible. As an English teacher, I loved how Funke praised the written word and then made it come alive. While I thought Inkheart dragged out the story a little bit, I was intrigued enough to read Inkspell, mostly because I... more info
Customer Review: The story started off quite engagingly, though I thought I'd discovered the secret right away (chapter 4!). It turns out I'd only discovered a small secret and the big one was still to come! There's also an element of reality (yes, in a fantasy book!) that struck me. Not everyone is perfectly... more info
Customer Review: This is one of my favorites of Ms. Funk's works. She brings the tone of severity down a notch for a fantasy that is adorable and kid-friendly, but still containing all the right ingredients for one exciting story. Maybe it's a little cliche, but it's the classic story we all like: nice dragons... more info
Customer Review: Cornelia Funke writes the perfect holiday book for both children and adults! The storyline is clever and makes you smile practically the entire way through! The story is centered on Ben, a child that appears to be an underachiever, and Niklas Goodfellow, the last real Santa Clause. The evil... more info
Customer Review: Members of Igraine's family are perfectly happy to spend their days locked away in crumbling Pimpernel Castle's tower, composing magic spells using their valuable singing Books of Magic. Igraine, on the other hand, would prefer to wear her great-grandfather's chain mail and spend her days riding... more info
Customer Review: This is one of Cornelia Funke's best ghost hunter books. I am a third grade teacher and have read the ghosthunter series to my class. They can't get enough. They hang on every word and when I stop reading they plead with me to continue. Cornelia Funke sparks a love for reading with her wildly witty... more info
Customer Review: I think it's a very good book because of how it says how to defeat the ghosts the people have to fight. Also, I like how the ghosts look. The book wasn't scary at all and it only took me two days to read it. The book was exciting because you know when they're about to fight the monsters. I... more info
Customer Review: My 7 year old son loves this whole series of books. They are some of the only books he wants to keep on reading, even after his reading timer goes off. He can't seem to put them down, and he talks about them after reading. He also has picked them a few times to do his book reports on. Highly... more info
