How many of you have read Inkheart by the amazing German author and illustrator Cornelia Funke? Would you like to find out more about her stories and read even more jaw-dropping fiction by this inspiring writer? Thief Lord is yet another incredible read you won't be able to put down. I highly recommend it. Set in Venice, it will transport you to another watery world.

So treat yourselves to some time on her official website, www.corneliafunke.com

where you can discover links between her and Harry Potter stories, quiz yourself on Inkheart, find out when the next film based on her book Dragon Rider will come out this summer, get creative with her colouring pages, and watch an interview with her talking about the craft of writing and illustrating. It's brilliant.

Happy Reading Everyone!
