After more than 300 pages I finally abandoned this book. Surprised me too! I enjoyed Inkheart and loved how this book started out. But it kept getting darker and more strained as the plot started to unravel under its own weight. I skipped to the end, figured I wouldn't enjoy how we got there and let it go. How this can be an "intermediate" book for 9-11 year olds is beyond me. If I didn't have a bookshelf full that I'm waiting to get to, I might have kept going. But it was obvious that I would h

Sequel to Inkheart. Very entertaining and enjoyable
