Holly’s comments from the What's the Name of That Book??? group.

Well, there are sequels too.

In the original Inkheart, the MC always stays in the real world, and for the most part it's about characters who come out of books. The MC's mom disappeared when she was little, but her Dad is still alive.

The sequels are about the MC going into the book (called Inkheart), but not the first book.

And if you're interested in the same kind of book, where people go into books, there's a cool Listopia with those kinds of books on it: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1...

The City of Ember is a middle grade post-apocalyptic book & series. It's definitely appropriate for readers that age (no romance, extreme violence, etc.) There is also a movie adaptation of the book, and I thought the visuals in it were really nice.

I think Carter may be looking for the first book in the series that Kris mentioned, Click Here: To Find Out How I Survived Seventh Grade

That sounds interesting! Do you know if the ghost turned out to be "real" or not?

The plot doesn't ring a bell for me, but here's a list of 90s ghost stories (and there are links to other decades there too)

A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness.


I think I heard that they're making a movie out of it, btw.

Running with Scissors for the link

The Prince of the Golden Apple maybe? I couldn't find a description though.

Inkheart? The plot isn't exactly as you describe, but it's close. And there's a movie too.

Ah, ok. Thanks Kris.

I'mg glad you could find it :]


Thanks for the link Kris, I was posting on my phone before. I'm still not sure how to link books on the app :o

Tess of the D'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy?

Cupcakedoll - it's the same. Amazon is probably confused because not only did the book's title change, so did the author's name.

Mirror, Mirror by Nancy Butcher

It's possibly hard to find because new prints of it changed the name. The cover art changed too to look like a generic paranormal YA (ugh)

I made a list of kids' time travel fiction from the 1980s. Maybe you can browse it (it's fairly comprehensive, though I'm sure I'm missing some) There are also links to books written in other decades. Good luck!

Do you remember what year you read it?

Some suggestions:
Summer at Forsaken Lake
The Humming Room
Uncle Montague's Tales of Terror (this probably isn't it, but it's still really good!)
The Ghost of Crutchfield Hall
No Passengers Beyond This Point
The Steps up the Chimney (it's older, but has some new editions)
The Devil Walks
The Marvels
Pillage
Summer's Shadow
Curiosities: An Illustrated History of Ancestral Oddity
The Silver Star

Maybe the The Bus Girls by Mary K. Harris?

Peter and the Starcatchers maybe? If not, check this list: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/6...

Karen's Magic Garden?

Oh yay! I'm glad that's the one!
