Story Thieves James Riley 9781481409193 Books

Real life is boring. That’s what Owen has decided, and he much prefers to live in the world of his favorite books, at least in his day dreams. And then he meets Bethany when he finds her crawling out of a book. Wait, what? Turns out she is half fictional and can jump into books. She’s spent years looking for her father, who disappeared into a book, and works very hard to stay out of the stories so no one learns about her abilities.

But Owen has a plan. He wants to trick Bethany into jumping them into the climax of the sixth Kiel Gnomenfoot book, just in time to alter the cliffhanger, meet Kiel himself, and become a hero to the series legion of fans the world over. What could possibly go wrong? Turns out plenty, and as things spiral out of control, will Owen and Bethany be able to return things to normal?

For a lifelong reader, this book was a delight since many books I read and enjoyed as a kid were mentioned during the set up part of the book. The main story revolves around characters and set up from the completely made up Kiel Gnomenfoot series, and that felt like the weakest part of this book. Still, that is a very minor complaint. The story moved forward at breakneck speed with Owen and Bethany separated for much of the book. We’d flash between them quite frequently and we were always left with cliffhangers. These two characters are strong and fun, and we meet some other great characters along the way. Olus there is some fun humor as well that just added to the enjoyment of the book.

Having read the author’s previous trilogy, I was expecting humor, fun, and a great story. I wasn’t disappointed in the slightest. I’ll already looking forward to the next entry in what promises to be a great series.

Story Thieves James Riley 9781481409193 Books Reviews

Bought it for my 5th grader. He cannot put it down. Very happy with it.
Great
I liked this book it was a great story. It had some parts that I thought the author needed to get to the point. That is only criticism I have it was a great book I recommend it to everyone.
At first, I thought this book was an attempt to mimic the book Inkspell, but I quickly found out that I was very wrong! The mix of magic and science kept me hooked until the end, and of course the ending ensured that I would have to read the second book....
STORY THIEVES by James Riley is an action-packed fantasy that blurs the line between real life and fictional worlds.
What if you could literally dive into a good book? Bethany can. As the child of a real mother and fictional father, she’s able to disappear into any paper book. Bethany has spent years carefully exploring library books for her lost father. When Owen discovers her secret, they begin an adventure that breaks the “fourth wall” mixing the real world with fantasy universes.
This clever new fantasy series will be a hit with a wide range of book lovers including those who enjoy fairy tales, magic stories, and science fiction. With many references to popular works of fiction, youth will be drawn into the premise and easily imagine themselves in the shoes of the main characters.
Known for his fractured fairy tales, James Riley provides just the right balance of action and suspense to keep readers engaged in the story. He skillfully weaves together silly subplots, humorous dialogue, and witty references into a storyline perfect for middle grade readers. Youth will easily empathize with the well-developed characters who have dreams and desires that sometimes get in the way of making good choices.
Fans of books like Fablehaven and Inkheart will enjoy the book’s premise, while science fiction and steampunk fans will love the characters from Owen’s favorite fictional series.
Like Bethany and Owen, your children will want to dive into this exciting fantasy adventure.
This book is a pretty good one. I am a teacher and read this book before adding it to my classroom collection. There are some parts where it is boring and it loses the reader but great sci-fi book for older readers.
Yes, I am that mom that reads 12 year old fiction. But that's because all of the good, witty, clean and clever authors who don't feel compelled to make their characters such mixed bags that you can't figure out who the good guy or bad guy is, have abandoned adult fiction and relocated to the world of pre-teen fantasy/sci-fi. I found the book a fun, easy read to wind down to. It's on the list now of books to read to my kids as soon as their old enough to understand the plot.
