James Riley’s Story Thieves series ran for five books between 2015 and 2018. The first book shares its name with the series, and the follow-ups have fun with their bookish premises: The Stolen Chapters, Secret Origins, Pick the Plot, and Worlds Apart each play with different aspects of stories and storytelling. Pick the Plot in particular hints at an interactive or reader-driven angle.
The series is best read in order, starting with Story Thieves, since the characters and their situation carry forward through all five books. With the final entry published in 2018, the complete series is available for readers to pick up and read straight through.
