Narration Concering 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.

I understand why Owen was so excited to have a life that is not consist of school, home and TV because I actually feel the same and if an opportunity presented itself to me just like how Bethany was presented to Owen, I would definitely grab it! My goodness I've been imagining myself inside Hogwarts for like three years now, the smell of strawberries inside the Camp Half-Blood and the feel of Aslan's hide on my fingers. This book made me want to have the things that I couldn't, like travelWhen reading the synopsis for this book, I was a little hesitant in starting it. It sounds an awful lot like the premise of Inkheart. Well, in Inkheart, the main character can read characters into or out of a book, where as in Story Thieves, the main character can pull people or characters into or out of the book with her. Seeing as how I am a huge fan of Inkheart, I didn't want to be comparing the two stories the entire time I was reading. Sometimes I find that when I see a similarity,
Oh my. This book was so good, I could have read it in a day-but due to school (and parents who want you to get a good night's sleep), I had to finish this book at the beginning of school.Five complete, total, brilliant stars for Story Thieves.________________________________At first: This is interesting, I guess, but--WHAT?! I finished 20% of the book already?! Maybe it's a short book.Middle: *turns pages at lightning speed*End: Oh my. Oh my. Oh my. BOOK TWO!! HERE I COME!!!!
Owen lives in the world of his favorite books at least in his mind. But when he meets Bethany emerging from a book, he realizes he might be able to do that for real. Despite Bethanys strict rules, Owen tricks her into going and changing the outcome of the sixth Kiel Gnomefoot book. However, the consequences are more than he bargained for. Will he and Bethany be able to return things to the way they should be?Having dreamed of jumping into books myself, I loved the premise of this book even
Great premise, but too many robots for my taste.,
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 his
To be quite honest, I have NO idea where to start. I'm not entirely exactly certain if I even LIKED the book or not. I'll probably read the next one just to see? Maybe that means I did like it? Don't know. I can see some middle-graders loving it.First of all, I don't understand what exactly the title is referring to. I thought it meant that the MCs would be stealing parts of stories for some purpose. There was a little character thievery going on, but it's a bit of a stretch to call it "Story
