How to Read the Kingdom of Wrenly Books
Read the twenty-three illustrated chapter books in numbered order, beginning with The Lost Stone. Each adventure has a clear ending, but Lucas and Clara revisit friends, creatures, and places throughout Wrenly.
Dragon Kingdom of Wrenly is a related full-color graphic novel series starring Ruskin. It has its own thirteen-book order and can be read after meeting him in the original books; it is not required between the numbered adventures.
The three-books-in-one volume collects existing stories. Books #24 and #25 are announced but are not included until publication.

For parents
What Parents Should Know
The adventures include monsters, witches, curses, ghosts, wolves, magical battles, and captured or threatened characters. Danger is frequent but injuries are not graphic, and courage and teamwork lead to reassuring resolutions.
The originals use easy-to-read language and illustrations on almost every page. The Dragon Kingdom spinoff is more visual and action-heavy but remains aimed at emerging readers.
