Chronicle Toward Books Story Thieves (Story Thieves #1)
Life is boring when you live in the real world, instead of starring in your own book series. Owen knows that better than anyone, what with the real world’s homework and chores. But everything changes the day Owen sees the impossible happen—his classmate Bethany climb out of a book in the library. It turns out Bethany’s half-fictional and has been searching every book she can find for her missing father, a fictional character. Bethany can’t let anyone else learn her secret, so Owen makes her a deal: All she has to do is take him into a book in Owen’s favorite Kiel Gnomenfoot series, and he’ll never say a word. Besides, visiting the book might help Bethany find her father… …Or it might just destroy the Kiel Gnomenfoot series, reveal Bethany’s secret to the entire world, and force Owen to live out Kiel Gnomenfoot’s final (very final) adventure.List Books During Story Thieves (Story Thieves #1)

Took turns reading this with my son. This middle grades (4th to 8th) genre book was like OK for me as an adult, but 10 stars out of 5 stars for my son. When I asked him why? He said the ACTION was constant! He said every time for a second he thought they were safe or just for a moment thought they were going to rest finally, something else always happened. He said he also liked the references to real life children's, middle grades, and teen/YA books throughout that he himself or he knows hisThe Appalachian Bookworm Think about it this way. You thought of yourself as alone for many years, fighting against Dr. Verity. But there were hundreds, even thousands of readers on my world who lived with you. Who felt every victory, every defeat, and want more than anything for you to win. Who cried, actually cried when they thought you died. Those are the people youre trying to make suffer, the ones whove been on your team this entire time. ****************************** Have you ever
This is my first review! This book is AMAZING! I knew that I wasn't going to be disappointed with this book. James Riley is my favorite author and when I heard this book was coming out, I was so pumped and excited! Story Thieves is so funny, it will have you laughing at many parts. I feel I can relate to all the characters in some way. There were so many quotes that I loved from this book. I was reading in the bus and there was a really funny part, so I started laughing. I didn't realize that
I really liked the plot of this story but the way the author wrote it made it seem like a 'meh' book.
For Owen, life is boring. He longs for something exciting to happen, like his favourite character Kiel Gnomenfoot, well he is in for a big surprise! When he is in the library helping his mother, he sees a book on the floor. Just as he goes to pick it up he sees the book moving and then, impossibly, a hand coming out of it. Next thing he knows, his classmate, Bethany pops out. He learns that Bethany is half fictional, her father popped out of a book and fell in love with her mother. When Bethany
3.5 starsEvery readers dream! This started out a bit slow and then characters were making stupid decisions (I had to keep reminding myself that they were kids and trying not to judge them too harshly). But once we got to them trying to fix their mistakes, I was on board and enjoyed it. I really liked Owen's relationship with Charm, and Bethany's relationship with Kiel. I'm happy that most of the same characters will be back for book 2. Kirby Heyborne does a great job with the audio version.
A solid 4 StarsWho doesn't want the magical ability to jump into a story and hang out, albeit in the background, in your favorite fictional world? Hogwarts? (Yes!) Narnia? (Not really, but sure.) Idris? (YES!) Rivendell or the Shire? (Fuck Yes!)I will say that some things outside of my control (Irma and depression) made me not read it as fast as I wanted to, but I still enjoyed myself. Strongly thinking about continuing the series. If anyone has, let me know how the other installments are and
