Maggie (Eliza Bennett) is a 12-year-old girl living in Germany. She lives with her father, Amo (Brendan Fraser). Her mother, Leisha (Sienna Guillory), mysteriously disappeared when Maggie was still in an infant state. For more than a decade, Ah Mo relied on her skills of packing ornaments in old books to support the lives of father and daughter. Maggie was curious about her mother's whereabouts, but her father kept silent. The lonely little girl wandered around the sea of books every day, letting her thoughts fly. One night, a dirty and evil fellow (Paul Bettany) breaks into the father and daughter's home, and Amo and their daughter flee to the home of their aunt Elino (Helen Mirren). At this time, Maggie finally learns the real reason for her mother's disappearance and her father's magical abilities. It turns out that Amo was able to bring the characters in the book into the real world by reading, and this was the beginning of the disaster... This film is based on the first book in the best-selling series of the famous German female writer Konilia.
