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.

"Overall, Great plot and I loved the cliffhangers that the book provided. This would get a 5/5 from me if it’s wasn’t fantasy. Don’t get me wrong- love a good fantasy book however, mystery has always been more of my genre. With that being said, this book was still so engaging, enjoyable, hard for me to put down, and nothing short of amazing. I read this book (383 pages) in 4 days and I am officially on to the next book in the series. Loved the ending as it lead directly into the next book inspiring me to immediately pick up book 2 and begin reading. "

"I wanted to like this book, but in the end, I was unimpressed. This is an okay read for a sixth grader, but as a high school freshman, I was unchallenged and unentertained. The plot is okay, though it only goes so far. <br/>In the book, the main character gets to go into his favorite book series with the help of his half fictional friend. First of all, I think the series they jumped into was very unoriginal and it bored. <br/>I rate this two stars because I thought it was ok at best. However, I will not be reading the next book in the series."
