New Fantasy Series from Cornelia Funke!
Inkheart fans, rejoice! Cornelia Funke will be publishing a new fantasy series inspired by Grimm's fairy tales! The first book, Reckless will be released on September 14, 2010.
I have to confess that I knew about Reckless a while ago because I met Cornelia in June 2008 and asked her what she was working on after Inkdeath. She was super-nice and told me about her next two books. You can't see me in the video, but it really was me sitting across from her asking her questions. Seriously. I still get goosebumps thinking about it!
But now the official word is out, and Cornelia posted a message about the new book on the Cornelia Funke Fans Web site. She describes what Reckless will be about, and how excited she is about it. “I'm so much looking forward to this,” she says.
I think I speak for many many readers when I say, "MEEE TOOOOO!!!!!"
OMG, NO WAY!!! I totally never thought about her writing another series! It sounds so good! I love Grimm's Fairy-tales!!!

There is another series about Grimm's Fairy tales. It is called The Fairy Tale Detectives I think,it is about two orphans who find out that they are descendants of one of the Grimm brothers. Then they find out half the people in the town they are living in are fairy tale characters. I've only read up to the second book but the series sounds good.

OMG! I loved the Ink Trilogy and can't wait for Reckless. It sounds kinda like a dark fairy tale which I love. I can't wait for September. It's a shame though that the world has to wait.

I first learned about Inkheart while listening to it as book on CD with my husbnad as we drove 10 hours between WI and Canada.
The book was narrated by Vanessa Redgrave (an excellent choice!). It didn't take long for me to get hooked into the story, but I wanted to have the experience of reading the story for my self after listening to 2 of the multiple-CD set.
Reading the book was EVEN better!
As a teacher and a parent, I'd reccomend the book to any student in grades 4 or above. It's a quick, fun read, and by the end of the story you really want the main charcaters to succeed in their task!
