Inkheart and Inkspell |
These are the first two books in the Inkworld trilogy. The third book has not been written yet. Meggie is a 10 year old girl who lost her mother (Te/Resa) when she was younger and lives with her father (Mo). The books are about a book called Inkheart and the characters in it. Little does Meggie realise just what goes on in the Inkworld and just how much trouble she and her father are in . . . I really liked these books because there is lots of mystery, discovery and adventure. I enjoyed them also because one of the main characters was about my age so I can see the story from her (Meggie's) point of view.

The Green Kingdom |
This is aimed at a younger audience – Year 6 perhaps. It is an attractive read with no magic or fantasy. Rather we have a treasure hunt – or rather riddles that send the young protagonist, Caspia, on a search for different plants – the Green Kingdom of the title. Using these riddles the author introduces the reader to fact, folklore, mythology, the language of flowers, medicinal properties. An attractive read.
