STORY THIEVES
Book ID/图书代码： 06814015B78764
English Summary/英文概要： A hilarious, action-packed series launches with a story-within-a-story, from the bestselling 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.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 一部令人捧腹大笑的系列动作小说，一个故事中套着另一个故事，作者著有畅销小说三部曲Half Upon a Time。
当你生活在一个真实的世界中时，生活往往是百无聊赖的，除非你是自己这部系列作品的主角。这一点，欧文比任何人都更清楚地知道，现实世界的种种日常。直到有一天，一件绝不可能的事情发生在欧文眼前，改变了一切——他的同班同学贝瑟妮从图书馆的一本书中爬了出来。原来贝瑟妮的真实身份其实是半虚构的，而她正在前往一本本书中寻找她失踪的父亲，另一个虚构人物。贝瑟妮的秘密绝不能让任何人知道，欧文因此与她达成了一项协议：只要她能带欧文进入他最爱的基尔•诺曼福特系列作品中，欧文就不会透露任何关于她的信息。并且，拜访这部作品中的世界也能帮助贝瑟妮寻找她的父亲……
抑或者，他们将会摧毁基尔•诺曼福特系列，向世人揭开贝瑟妮的秘密，而欧文也不得不完成基尔•诺曼福特的最终冒险（真正的最终）。（DC）

About the Author/作者介绍： 令人倍感意外的是，Half Upon a Time一书的作者詹姆斯•瑞里其实查无此人。在他的这一童话系列问世之前，并没有任何关于詹姆斯•瑞里的记录，更有传闻称，作者照片里的那个男人其实是一名演员。就好像有人编造出了“詹姆斯•瑞里”这一身份仅仅是为了隐藏他的真实身份。但这一切又是为了什么？谁如此大费周章？毫无疑问浮现脑海的唯有“无名氏”。
Strangely enough, James Riley, author of the Half Upon a Time books, doesn’t actually exist. There’s no record of "James Riley" before his fairy tale series came out, and sources say that the man in author photos is just an actor. It’s almost as if someone made up this fictional "James Riley" identity solely to hide his identity. But why? And who would go to such lengths? Certainly Nobody comes to mind.
