This is what I have been reading!
Now a movie! (I haven't seen it, but really want to)
The Inkheart series by Cornelia Funke. The 2nd book Inkspell is by far my favorite, but it has a suspenseful ending so of course you have to read Inkdeath, which takes a little bit to get into, but well worth it in the end. I really liked this series. It's a great fantasy!
