Instead, by the final page, author James Riley has all but run out of cliffs from which to hang plot threads, and he drops numerous broad hints that Story Thieves, so far, has been a mere prequel to untold future shenanigans - especially the soon-to-be-released Book 4, Story Thieves: Pick a Plot. But if you're expecting a nice conclusion that resolves all the issues of Books 1 and 2, this is not that book.

This may be the only book you ever read that brings aliens, dragons, robots, Sherlock Holmes, and Jane Austen all into one crazy story. Unfortunately they open a portal for all kinds of crazy to get into the real world and to destroy many fictional worlds as well.
Owen loves reading so much that the possibility of jumping into his favorite adventure series to save the day causes him to trick Bethany into jumping him in to look for a magic spell that will help find her dad. Finally hunting her down, Owen discovers that Bethany’s dad is fictional and she has the magical ability to jump into books, which she’s been doing since her dad disappeared. One day in math class, Owen watches as his classmate Bethany pulls her hand, covered in chocolate, straight out of a copy of “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.” Thinking that he had dozed off and dreamed what he saw, Owen tries to forget about it, until he watches as Bethany jumps into a book and disappear. It is a light-hearted fantasy to end all fantasies. If you're looking for something a little bit wacky and a whole lot of fun to read, pick up a copy of " Story Thieves" by James Riley.
