Characters

Mo- Mo is the father of Meggie. He has the power to make characters from a book come to life by reading aloud, because of this trait most of the people in the Inkworld call him Silvertongue. Mo has a wife named Resa. Often in the Inkworld, he is called the Bluejay. When Mo was hiding he was told by a lady on page 293, " A man like him puts our children in danger, and Martha's right, you don't even belong to us. This is the only place where they let us stay. No one drives us away, but once they hear the Bluejay is here, that will be over. They'll say we're hiding him."

Fenoglio- The author of the book "Inkheart". He is an old man who is usually happy. He became a depressed old man once he saw how much death his book had caused like it says on page 604. Now he just waits to teach Orpheus the ways of his trade.

Meggie- The daughter of Mo. She has the same gift as him so that when she reads aloud the book she reads comes to life. She is thirteen years old and the antagonists often call her "That little witch".
