Everything bores Owen until Bethany, a half-human/half–fictional character searching for her lost father, brings Owen into his favorite book. The plan soon backfires and the children find themselves fighting to save both the book world and the human one. With its quick-paced plot, sharp characters, and funny dialogue, Story Thieves opens an enjoyable new fantasy-adventure series.
