| "Owen frowned, suddenly worried. What if they stole [Bethany's] power, or banished her to a horrible dimension of just audio-books or something?" — James Riley, Story Thieves |
Owen's boring middle school routine suddenly takes a turn for the crazy when his classmate Bethany suddenly climbs out of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory--covered head to toe in chocolate from her flight down the Chocolate River. It'll take more than a real gobstopper to keep Owen quiet about Bethany's special power. He wants a trip with Bethany inside his own favorites: the Kiel Gnomenfoot book series.
All goes well at first, but Owen caves into temptation and breaks Bethany's number one rule: don't talk to characters, thus changing the story. Soon, fictional characters are imprisoning real-world people, and climbing out of their stories. Dragons, robots, Narnia, Harry Potter--Story Thieves has them all and a lot of lighthearted fun. [JG]
