So far, I am on page 27 of __Inkheart.__ I think the story is just being set up. The author is developing the characters and setting and hinting at the at the plot, or foreshadowing, but the book isn't super interesting yet. My main question is what is there about Mo's book that makes it so special? I'm also wondering why the characters have names like Dustfinger and Silvertongue (Mo).

I think the setting of this story is in contemporary Europe, mainly Italy. Mo (Silvertounge) and been captured by the evil villian Capricorn and his men. Meggie, Mo's daughter, and Elinor, Meggie's great aunt, have also been taken to Capricorn's village. All of these characters have been captured because Capricorn wants a book that mo had. That book is titled __Inkheart__. I am on chapter 16, page138, and Mo is just about to explain why Capricorn wants him and the book. He says, "Night had fallen long ago...and I began reading the seventh chapter. That's when it happened--" I still don't know why the characters names are so strange or what makes Mo and __Inkheart__ so special, but I believe I am about to find out.
