What order should i read Dog Man books in?

Right now, there are 14 books in the main Dog Man series. The latest is Dog Man: Big Jim Believes.

A 15th book is on the way, though. It's called Dog Man: A Sprinkle in Time and it's set to come out in November 2026. So by the end of this year, there will be 15.

The Dog Man books are mostly aimed at kids around 6 to 10 years old. That's roughly grades 2 to 4 or so.

The reading level is pretty low, and the pictures make it easy to follow. So confident younger readers can enjoy them too, and even older kids still find them funny. If you're picking for a reader, 7 to 10 is the sweet spot.

Sort of, but not exactly. The disasters and events in the I Survived books are real—like the Titanic sinking or the shark attacks of 1912. But the main kid characters are made up. The author mixes real history with fictional kids so readers can experience the event. Some stories are inspired by real survivor accounts, but they're not biographies. So the background is true, while the characters and their personal stories are fictional.

You don't have to read them in any particular order. Each I Survived book is a standalone story, so you can just pick up whichever one looks the most interesting to you.

But if you like having a plan, there are two main ways to go about it:

Publication Order: This is the best approach if you're a collector or just like reading things in the order they were released. You'd start with I Survived the Sinking of the Titanic, 1912 (2010) and move forward from there.

Chronological Order: This is a fun option if you want to travel through history. You can start with the oldest event, like I Survived the Destruction of Pompeii, AD 79, and read your way to the more recent ones.

The author herself, Lauren Tarshis, has said that either way works. She just wants kids to start with whatever topic excites them the most.

The I Survived books are generally aimed at kids around 7 to 12 years old. That covers roughly grades 2 through 7, depending on the source.

Reading levels typically fall in the 550L to 740L range for the main series, with an AR level of about 3.8 to 5.1.

The author, Lauren Tarshis, has said she generally doesn't recommend the series for kids younger than third grade, though some advanced second graders can handle it.

So if you're picking them for a reader, 8 to 10 is a solid sweet spot. But older kids and even adults can still enjoy them.

1. A Court of Thorns and Roses
2. A Court of Mist and Fury
3. A Court of Wings and Ruin
4. A Court of Frost and Starlight
5. A Court of Silver Flames
6. A Court of Splintered Harmony

That's the easiest way to follow the story. A Court of Splintered Harmony is the sixth book.

A quick heads-up, though. This book is part of a new story arc called "The Valkyrie Cycle." It picks up after the events of the Crescent City series, so reading those books first might help you catch all the connections. But if you just want to stick with the main ACOTAR books, the list above will get you where you need to go.

Read them in publication order. Start with A Game of Thrones, then A Clash of Kings, A Storm of Swords, A Feast for Crows, and A Dance with Dragons. That’s the main series so far. Books four and five overlap, but reading them one after another works fine. Save the side books for later.

Yeah, pretty much. The books tell one long story. Skip around and you’ll miss who’s who and why things happen. Start with A Game of Thrones, then go in publication order. That’s the easiest way. The later books run side by side, but you still want the first three first.
