Summary from the WebPAC:

When Mo Folchart reads a story aloud, the characters leap off the page. Literally. And that's a problem. One night he brings out three characters from Inkheart, a story set in medieval times and filled with magical beings. Capricorn and Basta are two villains. Dustfinger is a fire-eater. Now, 10 years later Mo's daughter, Meggie, discovers the truth and it's up to her to escape Capricorn's evil grasp. Mo has been searching for a long lost book that will help so he can use his special powers to the interlopers back to their world

Inkheart is the first installment in the Inkheart Trilogy of books, and the first to be made into a movie. Inkspell is the second title, released in 2005, and Inkdeath is the final installment and was published in 2008. Hopefully the economy will improve and allow the other two titles to be made into motion pictures as well!
