The Ink Drinker, by Éric Sanvoisin, is a whimsical fantasy about Odilon, a boy who dislikes reading, whose life changes when he discovers a pale stranger using a straw to "drink" the ink from books in his father's shop, revealing a hidden world where ink is a gourmet delicacy for vampires like himself, leading the boy to become a bibliophile with a taste for the macabre. Key Plot Points: The Discovery: During summer vacation, Odilon, tasked with watching his father's bookstore, notices a strange man sipping ink from books with a straw, leaving blank pages behind. The Chase: The boy follows the peculiar customer to a cemetery, where he finds an underground library. The Explanation: The "ink drinker" explains that he's a vampire allergic to blood, for whom aged book ink is a sublime treat, and he transforms Odilon into a fellow "ink drinker, " turning the book-hating boy into a book lover.
