Bookseller recommendation

“When I think of the books that shaped my childhood, Inkheart is always at the forefront of my mind. Cornelia Funke’s prose is some of the most beautiful I’ve ever read - made even more impressive by the fact that it has been translated from German. Almost twenty years later, Funke has returned to this series with Inkworld: The Color of Revenge. I’m starting my re-read now so I can feel like a kid again.”
