Inkheart - Fandango Giveaway!
So I like to read “teen” stories. Hey! Stop looking at me like that, all you Twilight Freaks out there! I haven’t succumbed to the pressure of THAT one! (..yet! My sister isn’t done reading it and I’m gonna borrow their copy. hahaha.) I just started reading INkheart, because my son got it for Christmas, (…what?) and he’s still finishing another book and I was done with Steven King’s Duma Key and who doesn’t need a little fantasy now and then?
Anyway! The lovely Deana wrote me last week - and she’s just started reading it too - but her main reason for writing was to offer YOU a gift!
That’s right, it’s time for another Parenting Teens Giveaway! To celebrate the opening of Inkheart in theaters on January 23rd - that’s THIS FRIDAY, ya’ll! - Deana has graciously offered a $20 Fandango gift certificate, which is usable at practically any theater in the country. We can even use them at OUR theater here in Alaska!
So here’s how it works. Every comment on this post up until midnight Alaska time on Wednesday, January 21st, qualifies as an entry into the giveaway. On Thursday the 22nd, Random.org and I will choose a winner. Please make sure to use a valid email for your comment, as that is how Deana will get the certificate to you!
Inkheart stars Brendan Fraser as Mortimer “Mo” Folchart, who shares a passion for books with his 12 year old daughter Meggie (Eliza Hop Bennett). They also have a unique gift for bringing the characters to life, simply by reading aloud from the books. However - when that happens, a real person disappears into the book in exchange. When Mo hears voices he hasn’t heard for years, the discovery that they come from the pages of Inkheart, a book into which Meggie’s mother disappeared, it sends shivers up his spine.
Will his plan to rescue Resa succeed, or be thrwarted by Capricorn, the evil villain of Inkheart, as he kidnaps Meggie and demands all the fictional characters be brought to life… Will Mo succeed in rescuing his daughter and set things right?
So! Check out the book, AND the movie - and be sure to leave a comment on this post for your chance at the $20 Fandango gift certificate - the chance to see Inkheart (or any movie) for Free courtesy of Deana and YouCastCorp!

I’ve been wanting to see this movie ever since I heard it was going to be a movie about a year ago. It’s been a long wait and these last few weeks have been very long.
