4-6Story Thieves series.
In the fourth and fifth books, Owen and Bethany story-jump and time travel to rescue friends, learn how to defeat Nobody, and reconnect the nonfictional and fictional worlds. Plot's choose-your-own-adventure-style puts the reader in charge of Owen's journey, while Apart returns to the traditional storytelling format. Though both books are unnecessarily drawn out, humor and likable characters carry this series to a satisfying conclusion. Review covers these Story Thieves titles: Pick the Plot and Worlds Apart.
