Calling on all gamers! This is the official book series inspired by the characters of the Skylanders Universe, perfect for all middle-grade level readers and up! If you're an adult and would like to dive in for a nostalgic read of your favourite video games, this is a great light and fun read!
Welcome to Skyland, a fantastical land made up of floating islands and looked after by its super powerful heroes, the Skylanders! Each Skylander has superpowers, inspired by one of the Earth's elements: air, water, fire, earth and even light and magic!
From Spyro, Gill Grunt and Lightning Rod to Bouncer, Sonic Boom and Cynder, each book centres around different Skylanders and the challenges, trials and tribulations they must face to save the day. Inspired by the worlds and challenges of their video games, this book series is the perfect way to expand your knowledge about each character with fiction books, guides, activity books and annuals!
This series is also a fantastic way to support reluctant readers who are visual thinkers and prefer to be engaged with characters they already know and love. If you're looking for more great books for reluctant readers, check out our Best Books for Reluctant Readers blog post!
You don't have to have prior knowledge of the video games to enjoy these books: the characters stand strong on their own. You don't have to read them in any particular order either, as each book focuses on a different character's adventure.
If you love the books in this series, why not try out some other character-led series, like the Pokemon series and Minecraft books!
Step through the Portal of Power and join the Skylanders Universe with this incredibly fun book series based on the video games!
