Owen’s life changes when he sees his classmate, Bethany, climb out of a book in the library. It turns out that Bethany is half-fictional and has been searching every book she can find for her missing father, who is a fictional character.

Bethany agrees on the condition that Owen does not interfere with the story. Easier said than done! A few missteps lead to repercussions that might destroy the Kiel Gnomefoot series and reveal Bethany’s secret. Follow Owen and Bethany in this five-book series set in different story worlds.
