My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The conclusion to the Inkheart trilogy and it doesn't disappoint. I will miss these characters! Everything is tied up - but there is still a little wiggle room for revisiting the Inkworld.

Fantastic Secret of Owen Jester

Barbara O'Connor is one of my favorite authors. I am so happy that she is coming out with a new book, but it doesn't come out until October 2010. So..... she made a book trailer to help hold us over.
