Students, kids, and life-long readers,
If you could enter any story or book that you have read, and change a part of that story what would you do? Inform a character of a poor choice they are about to make, or let them know who not to trust, or maybe even stop a favorite character from dying.
The main character Owen has a chance to do just that as he catches his classmate Bethany climbing out of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory book. Bethany tries to elude Owen, but he is hooked on the possibility to enter books, and to stop the death of a beloved character - think Dumbledore in Harry Potter. Owen intentions are hidden from Bethany who has her own agenda - trying to find her lost father that suddenly disappeared one day. Transporting in and out of books is not an easy task and there is danger that lurks throughout - for Owen and Bethany - and the for safety of the series and the world.
I very much enjoyed this book with small connections to other series and I couldn't stop thinking about what series/book I would jump into if I have the opportunity. Right now, there are two more books to this series and I am eager to read them to see what is next for Owen and Bethany.
