Inkheart by Cornelia Funke
This story is about this girl, Meggie, and her dad who live on a farm and they love to read books. Her dad is a book saver, which means he takes the book covers off and makes them new ones. Then one day in the middle of the night a mysterious man appears at Meggie's house. Later Meggie finds out that it is Dustfringer, an old friend of Meggie's dad. He comes to their house because he needs to talk to Mo, Meggie's dad. Then she finds out that they need to hide a book because Capricorn wants it. So they go see Elinor, who agrees to help them hide the book. Then Capricorn's men try to take the book, but they get the wrong one and also take Mo. Now Elinor and Meggie have to trade the right book for Mo. So you have to read the book to see what happens next. It is a very good book and I think every girl would like it.
