I also read this book in the fifth grade. Though I only read half (page 90) of it and started the book Percy Jackson; The Lightning Thief. (the only reason I started the lightning thief was so I could understand the movie when it came out on my b-day. To my surprise the movie was nothing like the book) I think Ink Heart could have been better if they started the book of with more action. Actually I stopped at the place the action started (and yes a tip, the book starts to get good on page 90 evidently the one I stopped on) I was a bit confused when I read this because the author, Cornelia Funke, would write a small tid bit from other books at the begin of the chapters. I think for readers who are not strong at reading should skip the small info at the beginning because I had a hard time. 
Alright, you maybe thinking 'how the heck is she gonna tell me about this book if she didn't even read it?'. Well I watched the movie! Ha... The book is basically about how this man named Mo and his daughter Maggie can read out of books. By this I mean they can read out people and things, like say gold, out of books. Though when something comes out of the book then something has to go in. While Mo was reading a book to Maggie when she was a baby (the book was Ink Heart) their mother/wife was sucked in and three people (hint; bad guys) Basta, Capricorn, and Dustfinger (< he is somewhat good, really just wants to see his family again and will do anything to). Through out the book they meet many people including Aunt Elinor, and Fenoglio. The movie was amazing (*my opinion) and the book must be good. Though I used Wiki to help me with this, so if your not afraid to hear the ending before you read here's the link> There are three books in this series; Ink Heart, Ink spell, and Ink Death
