Publisher's summary

An interactive audio experience where listeners choose their journey through the story!

When Owen finds himself stuck in a Pick Your Own Plot story, things get more complicated than ever in this fourth book in the New York Times best-selling 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.

Being able to jump into books used to seem like the greatest thing in the world to Owen Conners. But now Owen's trapped in a time travel book where listeners - that would be you - decide how the story goes.

As if that weren't enough, Owen's also stuck in a prison for time criminals in a prehistoric era. He's surrounded by bizarre fellow prisoners, including Kara Dox. How does Kara recognize Owen if they've never met before? She seems to think they're old friends, but that can't be possible. Still, Kara might just be the only chance Owen has to escape. And he has to find a way out to save his friend Bethany, who's still in grave danger. Because unless Owen can stop him, Nobody is going to split Bethany into two, separating the fictional and nonfictional worlds forever.

Will Owen be able to convince you, the listener, to help him find his way back to Bethany? Or will you feed him to dinosaurs just to teach him a lesson? It's all up to you when you Pick the Plot.

Wonderful!

My sister and I really enjoyed this installment of STORY THIEVES, and for the most part were amazed at how well it fit together. However, it's important to notice there is one change (go to chapter) number that's wrong. In the latter half of the book, you'll be prompted to go to number 63, but the right number is number 64! (If you go to 63 and it makes no sense or is playing something you already listened to, then you know 64 is the one you're supposed to be at.)

A change, but a fun adventure like the other three

To be honest I was wondering how this was gonna work since I never heard an audiobook for a pick the plot story. It's weird, but the story is still as engaging as the others.
By the way as the other reviewer mentioned, yes there's an error. It's supposed to go 63-16-54-33-23-6 and then 64, not 63 again. (It took me about 8 minutes to go through all the tracks and I caught a couple spoilers, whoops, oh well.) I guess they missed it because everything else has been spot on.

ok

My son was disappointed. It is a pick the plot and you can't really do that as an audio. He loves to read but he hasn't went back to try reading this.

Good book BUT

This book is good but is hard I think the hardest one is to get how to get to the end I tried four times and only at the fourth I understood.

If you have a lot of time do this but I prefer the last ones, if you do buy this good luck!

I miss Keel and Bethany.

Not as good as the others, but unique. I miss some of the old characters.

I don't usually do interactives

the ability to pick the plot was truly thrilling and the story was great. the only downside to this type of book is that ypu can't listen with your hands occupied
