Descripción: A hilarious, action-packed New York Times bestselling series launches with a story-within-a-story, from the author of the Half Upon a Time trilogy.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.From School Library JournalGr 4–6—When Owen sees Bethany climb out of a book, he learns that she is half fictional and is searching for her missing father. While Owen sympathizes, he also immediately sees the possibilities for fame, fortune, and glory. Owen's real life is boring, his mother works too much, his teacher gives him stupid assignments, and his classmates don't get him at all. If Bethany would just take him into the new Kiel Gnomenfoot book, he'd save the day and be a hero. When Owen sneaks into the story and sets in motion a series of really terrible events, he realizes he wasn't ready for fame and glory. Owen learns a lot about how to be a true friend and what courage really is in this fast-paced, action-packed tale. A fun book for fans who enjoyed Riley's "Half Upon a Time" (Aladdin) series.—Terry Ann Lawler, Burton Barr Library, Phoenix, AZReview*"A droll and clever opener likely to leave readers breathless both with laughter and anticipation." (Kirkus Reviews, starred review)About the AuthorStrangely enough, James Riley, author of the Half Upon a Time books, doesn't actually exist. There's no record of "James Riley" before his fairy tale series came out, and sources say that the man in author photos is just an actor. It's almost as if someone made up this fictional "James Riley" identity solely to hide his identity. But why? And who would go to such lengths? Certainly Nobody comes to mind.Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.Story Thieves
