Inkheart

One cruel night, young Meggie’s father, Mo, reads aloud from Inkheart and an evil ruler named Capricorn escapes the boundaries of fiction and lands in their living room. Suddenly, Meggie is smack in the middle of the kind of adventure she has only read about in books.
 
Somehow Meggie and Mo must learn to harness the magic that has conjured this nightmare. Somehow they must change the course of the story that has changed their lives forever.
