Mo's magic voice brings books to life. He was reading Inkheart one night, and Dustfinger, Capricorn, and Basta came out. Mo's wife Resa disappeared into the book also 2 of their cats that were in resa's lap at the time were also in the book. Meggie also has the ability to read things out of books. if you have seen the movie but not read the book, not much is right in the movie like how meggie writes everyone back into their own book and dustfinger does not go back in the book he stays with frarid.
Originally the only characters Mo read out of Inkheart were Capricorn, Basta and Dustfinger, however after the fight (Capricorn & Basta attacked Mo, Dustfinger helped Mo; all three "read out" characters ran away) Capricorn found another reader, Darius, who read out many more characters, albeit with flaws. These included Flatnose, Cockerall and even Resa, Meggie's mother, who had been read into the book when Capricorn et all were read out.
In the end of Inkheart (the 1st book in the series) Meggie and Mo beat all the "bad guys", Dustfinger was left in the real world instead of returned to the fictional Inkheart world with the other characters read out of their story worlds, Meggie and Mo found Resa (Meggie's mother) and they all moved to live with Eleanor (Meggie's aunt).
Mo is the main character. He is a bookbinder and is the father of Maggie. Mo accidently read his wife into the book Inkheart and Dustfinger was the one who replaced her. Mo is also reffered to as Silvertounge. this is because of the fact sometimes when he reads, characters from the books are taken from that world and placed in to ours and vice versa.
This guy called Mo can read people/things out of books. Before he knew his talent he accidently read his wife into a book called 'inkheart' for capricorn, basta (the baddies!!) and dustfinger the fire-eater. One night dustfinger appears at Mo's and Meggie's (Mo's daughter) door. They need to go and fight capricorn. Capricorn wants mo to read money out of books for him so he does. Meggie discovers she too can read books in a 'magical' way. In the end Capricorn dies and Dustfinger still is in need of getting back into the book of 'Inkheart'. This is very breif. Read it and you'll find out everything else. It's an amazing book you NEED to read it!!- Hope this helps.
The stranger is Dustfinger.
Yes! Dustfinger returns to the Inkworld, but only after Orpheus (who also enters the Inkworld) tries to barter Mortimer's life for Dustfinger's by reading aloud, only to discover that Death cannot be commanded simply by a magical voice. Death takes Mortimer and leaves nothing, only to come to an agreement with Mo that he will kill the Adderhead by Spring's end, or Death will take not just his life but Meggie's also. When Mo agrees to Death's terms Dustfinger and Mortimer are returned to the Inkworld, Dustfinger supposedly to return at some point.

Dustfinger gets a man to read him into his own story again. of course Farid wants to follow, but when he tells Meggie she wants tog o too. Meggie and Farid read themselves into the Inkheart book to find that basta, Mo, Resa, and Mortola also read themselves in by a man named Orphesus. Tragity strikes when Mo and the others get to this world and Silvertongue see's death itself before him. But Meggie finds out how to save everyone though its a hard and dangerous plan. basta dies, but so does Farid.....then again Farid is menchaned in Inkdeath. I KNOW WHY but you'll just have to read it to found out how. hey just wanted to add in that after Farid dies by Basta's knife on the battle on the hill, Mo kills Basta. but Farid has become like a son to Dustfinger so Dustfinger tests an old legend and he sacrifices his life so Farid can return to life. Read to find out exactly what happens, it is so good!! If you read the last one also you just might see Dustfinger's return.............
Twelve-year-old Meggie Folchart , listening to the rain in bed one night, sees a stranger approaching her house. The man, who identifies himself as Dustfinger, is acquainted with Meggie's father, Mo, who Dustfinger calls "Silvertongue". Meggie overhears Dustfinger warning Mo about someone who is searching for him, and the three of them leave Meggie's most recent home (Meggie and Mo are constantly moving) and depart for a visit towards Italy. Meggie learns that she, Mo, and Dustfinger are fleeing from a mysterious man named Capricorn, and that they are going to her mother's aunt, Elinor. Meggie has not seen her mother since she was three years old, and although she and Mo love books, he never reads aloud to her. While staying at Elinor's, some of Capricorn's men come and take Mo away to Capricorn's village while Dustfinger is performing a fire show for Meggie. Dustfinger has betrayed Mo in the hopes of saving himself. Elinor, Meggie, and Dustfinger (accompanied by his pet marten, Gwin) leave Elinor's house to follow Mo and his captor, an evil servant of Capricorn's named Basta. Meggie learns that her father has the power to read things in and out of books; one night, while reading the book Inkheart aloud to her mother, Mo accidentally reads his wife into the Inkworld and Capricorn, Basta, Dustfinger, and Gwin out. After chasing the villains away and saving Dustfinger's life, he tries for a few years to read his wife, Teresa, back into our world with no success. He and Meggie then lived a nomadic life, moving from place to place every few years, in order to keep away from Capricorn, who wants to use Mo's powers to his advantage. Meggie, Elinor, and Dustfinger are captured by Capricorn's men and are used as hostages to force Mo to read aloud. Mo only agrees once he is holding onto Meggie - if she is touching him, he cannot read her into the novel. Mo reads a passage from Treasure Island and fills the hall with gold but when he reads from One Thousand and One Arabian Nights all that emerges is a boy named Farid. Dustfinger helps to free Meggie, Mo, and Elinor, realizing the foolishness of his betrayal, and Meggie convinces them to take Farid when they flee. The five fugitives steal a car from Capricorn's village and flee to the Italian Coast where they try to come up with a plan. Mo realizes that he needs to find a copy of the book and read Capricorn and Basta back into it, and decides to try and track down the author, Fenoglio. They find him living contentedly in another small town, and reveal their story to him by showing them Dustfinger, who is horrified to discover he is a character in a novel and that, according to the original plot, will die at the end of the book. Fenoglio is reluctant to help them, but he and Meggie are captured by Basta, who brings them back to Capricorn's village as bait to force Mo to finish his plan. Mo, Dustfinger, Farid, and Elinor sneak back towards Capricorn's village and try to decide how to save Meggie and Fenoglio. Meggie meets a servant of Capricorn's, Resa,who was a mute woman read out of Inkheart by Darius, Capricorn's stuttering reader, who she believes might be her mother. After being threatened by Mortola, Capricorn's mother and maid, she excitedly tells Fenoglio and starts reading aloud from some books Darius had left behind. Meggie discovers she has roughly the same gift as her father. Mo sends Gwin to find Meggie with a message written in Elvish tucked underneath his collar; Meggie replies and reveals to Mo that she has the gift as well. Dustfinger infiltrates the village and finds Resa, and she asks about Mo and Meggie through writing. Dustfinger, who has feelings for Resa, reluctantly tells her the truth. Basta discovers Meggie's power when he finds Tinkerbell in her and Fenoglio's cell, and Capricorn demands that she will finish his plan. Fenoglio asks for some pen and paper to keep his mind clear, but secretly works on an ending to give his story a more satisfying conclusion. Meggie is forced to read a passage from Inkheart and bring the Shadow, Capricorn's personal assassin of fire, into the real world. With Elinor and Resa held as hostages by Basta and Mortola theatening to poison her, Meggie agrees. Fenoglio gives her a sheet of paper to tuck in her sleeve and add to the passage to save herself. Farid and Mo light a fire to draw away Capricorn's men, and Fenoglio causes a ruckus so that Meggie can slip out his sheet of paper. Meggie summons the Shadow (and accidentally sends Fenoglio into his own book), but cannot bring herself to destroy it and Capricorn. Mo takes the paper and reads it; the Shadow kills Capricorn, and then explodes and reforms into all the magical creatures whose lives he stole in the covers of Inkheart. Basta and Mortola escape, but Mo and Resa are reunited. Farid and Dustfinger steal the last copy of Inkheart and leave to try and find a way into the story, while Mo, Resa, Elinor, Darius, Meggie, and some of the fairy creatures go to live at Elinor's house. Meggie decides to try and write stories of her own.
1st Farid dies because Basta stabs him the Mo kills Basta in revenge but then Dustfinger gives up his life for Farid so Dustfinger dies and Farid lives.
