Besides, visiting the book might help Bethany find her father… It turns out Bethany’s half-fictional and has been searching every book she can find for her missing father, a fictional character.īethany 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. Owen knows that better than anyone, what with the real world’s homework and chores.īut everything changes the day Owen sees the impossible happen-his classmate Bethany climb out of a book in the library.

This “clever opener likely to leave readers breathless both with laughter and anticipation” ( Kirkus Reviews, starred review) is the first in the New York Times bestselling series from the author of the Half Upon a Time trilogy.
