- Rick Yancey’s adventure trilogy for young readers, written before his bestselling The 5th Wave.

- Funny, fast and surprisingly melancholy about grief and growing up; the sequels involve the Seal of Solomon and a thirteenth skull.

How this plan is calculated
The plan comes from the pages and ratings of each volume: we split the series into stages of about three weeks’ reading, size each break to the stage before it, and read the chance of finishing from how many readers rate the last volume compared with the first. How we work out the plan →
Every volume in order
