You would probably despise books—just like the young protagonist in this deliciously bizarre story.One summer vacation, while Odilon is working in the store and hoping shoplifters will ease his burden, he spots a weird, pale stranger drinking a book. With a straw. As soon as the ink drinker flees (at the sound of the boy’s gasp), the young spy locates the customer’s book and discovers that it is completely blank except for a letter or two! He races out of the store on the heels of this tough customer—all the way to the cemetery. . . . less

A young boy falls for a girl who turns out to be as bitten by reading as he is, in this charming companion to the bestselling The Ink Drinker. Illustrations.

It's moving time for the ink drinkers Odilon, Carmilla, and Draculink. They need to find a new cemetery in which to plunk down their coffins -- and quickly! Otherwise Draculink will crumble into dust and Carmilla will leave for good. Can Odilon come up with the perfect resting place?

Odilon and Carmilla love sucking up the ink in books with their twin straw. Especially the ink in adventure stories! But as they begin one of their favorite tales, it’s the straw that sucks them in–and plops them right into the story. . . .
