INKHEART- by Cornelia Funke
This international bestseller is one of my pick's of the week! "One cruel night, Meggie's father, Mo, reads aloud from INKHEART, and an evil ruler named Capricorn escapes the boundaries of the book, landing in their living room. Suddenly, Meggie is smack in the middle of the kind of adventure she's only ever read about. Somehow, Meggie must learn to harness the magic that has conjured this nightmare. Can she change the course of the story that has changed her life forever?"
The Thief Lord- by Cornelia Funke
Another great read from Cornelia Funke! "Welcome to the magical underworld of Venice, Italy where crumbling rooftops and hidden canals shelter runaways and children with incredible secrets...Proper and Bo are orphans on the run from their cruel aunt and uncle. The brothers decide to hide out in Venice, where they meet a mysterious thirteen year old boy who calls himself the "Thief Lord." Brilliant and charismatic, the Thief Lord leads a ring of street children who dabble in petty crimes. Prosper and Bo delight in being part of this colourful new family. But the Thief Lord has secrets of his own. And soon the boys are thrust into circumstances that will lead them, and readers, to a fantastic, spellbinding conclusion/
