Although a year has passed, not a day goes by without Meggie thinking of Inkheart, the book whose characters became real. But for Dustfinger, the fire-eater brought into being from words, the need to return to the tale has become desperate.

You’re probably thinking, “Librarians are nice people who recommend good books,” but that’s just what they want you to think!

“Libre, como el sol cuando amanece,/ yo soy libre como el mar./ Libre como el ave que escapó de su prisión/ y puede, al fin, volar./ Libre como el viento/ que recoge mi lamento y mi pesar,/ camino sin cesar detrás de la verdad/ y sabré lo que es, al fin, la libertad”.
