Ilustration In Favor Of Books Storybound (Storybound #1)
In the land of Story, children go to school to learn to be characters: a perfect Hero, a trusty Sidekick, even the most dastardly Villain. They take classes on Outdoor Experiential Questing and Backstory, while adults search for full-time character work in stories written just for them.In our world, twelve-year-old Una Fairchild has always felt invisible. But all that changes when she stumbles upon a mysterious book buried deep in the basement of her school library, opens the cover, and suddenly finds herself transported to the magical land of Story.
But Story is not a perfect fairy tale. Una’s new friend Peter warns her about the grave danger she could face if anyone discovers her true identity. The devious Tale Keeper watches her every move. And there are whispers of a deadly secret that seems to revolve around Una herself....
With the timeless appeal of books like A Wrinkle in Time and the breathtaking action of Inkheart, Storybound has all the makings of a new classic. Brimming with fantastical creatures, magical adventure, and heart-stopping twists, Storybound will leave readers wishing they too could jump through the pages into this enchanting fairy-tale world.

First of all....Dammit! The sequel to this book doesn't even come out until next April. That said, I thought the idea for this story was very interesting. A girl pulled into a world where storybook characters practice to become the characters that we, in the world of Readers, read about everyday. The beginning is alittle slow and I wish there was more to Una's backstory that is available in the beginning other than "Oh she's an orphan and has had terrible foster homes and hides in the libraryI knew I needed this book when I saw the cover. And especially when I read the summary. I have started to love middle grade books a whole lot lately. Just love reading them so much. Before I managed to order it, though, I won a signed copy! And I was so happy about that :D Won lots of other swag too, that I love way too much. It arrived this week; and I just needed to read it right away. I'm glad I did. :) Mostly.I fell in love with this book right away. Just like I knew I would. The writing is
Ive heard people comparing Storybound to books like the Inkheart series by Cornelia Funke and I think its an apt comparison because like Inkheart, Storybound, too, crosses several boundaries and blurs several lines between fiction and reality. However, unlike the Inkheart series, I found that, as a matter of personal taste, Storybound seems more relatable and accessible. But thats not really the point. The objective here is to tell you that Storybound is an exciting middlegrade debut by an
I always love stories that take you back to your childhood. Fairy tale spin-offs and retellings certainly do that. Storybound is not your every day, run of the mill retelling, either. Have you ever finished reading a book and wished that you could keep going? Ever wish you could meet your favorite characters from your favorite books? Storybound takes that idea and runs with it. There are two worlds out there the land of Readers (that's us) and the land of Story. Children in Story learn your
I really liked this one. I'd never heard of it or of this author. But as I was wandering around Powell's Books in Portland there it was on an end cap display. (Imagine me finding the young adult/middle readers section right away. LOL)The cover is GORGEOUS and it really caught my eye there on the shelf. (which is, I suppose what it's supposed to do) And the story does not disappoint. There's to be a sequel released next year and I'll be picking that up for sure. My only complaint is that the book
Check out all my reviews at http://www.flyleafreview.comStorybound by Marissa Burt was the first book I was sent to review as part of the DAC ARC Tour, so I was doubly excited when the book arrived, straight from the author with a very cute owl-themed note card saying hello. One of the main reasons I wanted to read the book was because it is a MG book, and I have a 9 year old son who is really into reading. I was hoping that we could read and review the book jointly. But the book is quite big,
Ohhh, the deliciousness of finding a book that when you finish it you can't wait for the next installment! Delightful. Fans of Inkheart, the Emerald Atlas, and dare I say Harry Potter, are in for a treat with this great debut novel by Seattle author Marissa Burt. Una is the kind of girl no one notices or sees...she lives in foster care and spends her lunches eating alone reading a book in the 300-400's at her library. Until, one day, when she finds herself in a a story-book world where the
