Bethany travels to a new fictional world to rescue her father in this third book in the New York Times bestselling series, Story Thieves — which was called a “fast-paced, action-packed tale” by School Library Journal— from the author of the Half Upon a Time trilogy. Owen and Bethany have sworn off jumping into books for good. But they didn’t make any promises about not jumping through strange portals that lead to a comic book world. Jupiter City was once filled with brightly costumed superheroes and villains, but nowadays, there’s nothing left but the Dark. Even the villains are terrified of the Dark’s shadows, and most of the heroes have either disappeared or been lost to mind control. The one hero who might have stopped all of this, Doc Twilight, has been imprisoned by the Dark. But who is Doc Twilight really? And how can Bethany and Owen defeat the Dark without superpowers of their own? They’ll definitely need the help of some old friends and new allies to bring the light back to Jupiter City, and find out the truth behind the Dark. It all comes back to Bethany’s own secret origins. What really happened when her fictional father disappeared years ago? Who is Nobody, and why is he writing these Story Thieves books? And what kind of supervillain name is The Rotten Banana?

Curiouser & curiouser....
My son and I are really enjoying this series. The only bad thing is you can't put the book down because it's so engaging, then the author leaves you on a cliff for an entire year while you wait for the next book to be written. It's still questionable whether good triumphs over evil, or if we'll have read 5 books before we find out the morals are questionable. Personally, when you are writing kids books, in my opinion they need to end with a good moral. We're waiting to see what happens here. For sure, I'll be buying the next two books to find out. For now all I can say is write faster, Man!

Great read even for an adult!
Read this book along with my 12 year old niece as one of our summer reads. It was quite delightful and a great superhero mystery with fantasy elements. One of the characters has the ability to”jump” into the pages of a book and live in that world as well as bring characters along to our world. The story was great and we actually both looked forward to reading more each day. Recommended!

Good book
It was a good read. It kept me interested and wanting to read. I was not a big fan of the ending. Can't wait for the next one. I recommend this book to everyone. Hope you enjoy it like I did.

11 year old daughter loves these books
My daughter, 11 years, loves this series. She just had to have them all. She says that they do bounce around in the story and it requires her to really pay attention and sometimes re-read some chapters. She still loves each book.
