Why read it?
1 author picked Story Thieves as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Most novels, fantasy or otherwise, use portals to travel between worlds—but why stop there? Story Thieves certainly doesn’t! It takes the whole concept of fictional worlds and brings it one step further—characters can physically step in and out of books, and even influence their contents.

From Simon's list on teen fantasy that mash up old and new.
