Book about (possibly) a book [s]

[Keely]

So a few years ago, in about 2008, this girl in my class asked me if I'd read this book, and, when I said no, she told me that I was exactly like the girl in it. At the time I thought this was odd, but didn't think much of it. But I just started thinking and was wondering whether this was a good thing or a bad thing. But I can't remember what the book was called.

So. What I remember about the book:
I'm pretty sure it was mostly if not totally about a girl and her dad. Or a dad and his daughter. I don't know who was the main(er) character.
I know that it has been made into a movie.
It was written in or before 2008, since that is when the girl was talking about it.
The title was weird. I keep thinking Eragon, but I know it wasn't that. But the title I'm pretty sure was something like that. Or the girl's name was...
I'm pretty positive that there was something about a book in the book that was a pretty prominent part of the story.
Sorry. I know this isn't much information, but it was a few years ago.
Thanks!

Ok...I'm going to try this:
Inkheart, Cornelia Funke
Is about a girl and her dad, yes. Is about a book, yes. Was made into a movie, yes. There are some weirdy names in it, but not the girl's.

My second suggestion would be Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder, but I think that falls a bit off the mark. It is about a girl and a mentor and a lot of talk about books. Don't think it was made into a movie.
Do you remember if it was fantasy or not?

[Keely]

Yes yes yes! It was Inkheart! Thank you!

I went ahead and shelved the book, Keely. Be sure to move this thread to the "Solved" folder.

For what it's worth, Keely, your classmate comparing you to the main character of the book was probably a good thing. ;) The book is good and so it the movie (very different but good) so you should definitely check them both out!

thanks! i definitely will check them out!
