Synopsis
Una felt invisible to the world, and life as a foster child only accentuated how much she could phase out. Her favorite place is the school library where she can escape the feeling of invisibility and get lost in a different world every time she opened a book.
One day instead of getting lost in a book she gets sucked into one, here starts the story of Una in the land of Story where kids her age study to become characters of stories we grew to love. Now she must learn not to stand out, because things aren't perfect in Story and that truth may be lost along with the hope of bringin the land of Story back to health.
Review
Storybound is categorized as a children's book, but I think this may limit the number of people that will give this book a chance. This is a book that both adults and kids can enjoy with out feeling that you are falling into a typical kids book where the story can be predictable or maybe find the characters lacking something that you feel you could find outside the children's section.
The only reason this book doesn't get a top mark is because of the way it ended, it gives you the flow to want to read book 2 but I feel it had other opportunities to maybe end in an awesome cliffhanger or in a place that would have left us with more of an impact and making it more memorable to all.
