Storybound

By: Marissa Burt

Narrated by: Elizabeth Evans

When Una Fairchild stumbles upon a mysterious book buried deep in the basement of her school library, she thinks nothing of opening the cover and diving in. But instead of paging through a regular novel, Una suddenly finds herself Written In to the land of Story - a world filled with Heroes and Villains and fairy-tale characters.

But not everything in Story is as magical as it seems. Una must figure out why she has been Written In - and fast - before anyone else discovers her secret. Together with her new friend Peter and a talking cat named Sam, Una digs deep into Story's shadowy past. She quickly realizes that she is tied to the world in ways she never could have imagined - and it might be up to her to save it.

Great story!!!!!!!!

The narrater is the BEST!!!!I love the story,I love how she wraps you in to the story....an awesome book

Such a fun book

I really enjoyed this book. I love the narrator which was the first draw to this book and the story second. I was drawn into the story within the first few chapters and I liked it. It's exciting, fun and full of twists. I will admit that there were some things that I was confused about involving the plot and think it should have been a little longer to better explain it but I think it will be better in book two. Overall I liked it and recommend it for fairy tale lovers

Great traveling story

What did you love best about Storybound?

It was fun and engaging.

What about Elizabeth Evans’s performance did you like?

It was easy to tell who the different characters were just by her voice.

Very Cute

I was a little leary about this book, because I bought it on sale. But is was very good, it keep me engaged and I like it.

Okay story about wandering into a fairy tale

This is a story about a young girl who gets Written In (WI) to the Land of Story. There she has to figure out why she's a WI and who wrote her in.

This is really just the first half of the story. Nothing is resolved and the book ends right in the middle of the story.

The above being said I thought this book was decent but not great. I really enjoyed the idea of characters being written in (it was a like a simplified version of the Thursday Next series). I also enjoyed the idea of characters being type-cast and trained to be the sorts of characters they are assigned to be.

I thought our heroine was extremely abrasive and obnoxious. I also thought the initial description of her as a quiet loner did not at all fit how she acted in Story. There were a few contradictions like that throughout the story.

I also just got kind of bored with it all about halfway through. In the end, even though it ends mid-story, I really wasn't all that curious about what will happen to these characters. As a result, I probably won't read Story's End which ties up this duology.
