Find yourself wishing a story would go on and on? Some stories can’t be told in just one
book. And just when you really get into
the characters, the book ends! Trilogies take care of those frustrations and
are a popular form for middle and upper
grade chapter books, especially in fantasy lit.
With summer vacation ahead, settle in for some seriously fun
reading. Compiled below are trilogies
for a variety of ages and interests.
Best of all, they are completed!
You don’t have to wait a year to find out what happens to your favorite
character(s), such as: Will Jacob leave Miss
Peregrine’s children? Want to spend more
time in Aurora County? Are Janie and
Benjamin destined for each other and who will become the next Apothecary? Delve into these and other titles we’ve
compiled into a bookmark.
Aurora
County, Mississippi is the setting for 3 coming-of-ages stories of endearing,
humorous youngsters. Ruby Lavender
writes her grandmother letters detailing her surprisingly unboring summer, Comfort Snowberger helps run the family
funeral parlor, and House Jackson needs to lead his team to a win (while
solving some old mysteries).
The
Apothecary, The Apprentices, The After-room
Set at the
beginning of the Cold War, a fourteen-year-old American girl’s life
unexpectedly transforms when she moves to London in 1952 and gets swept up in a
race to save the world from nuclear war using ancient spells and preparations. Further adventures take Janie and her friend
Benjamin to the unfolding war in Viet Nam as the nuclear arms race takes shape.
The Book Of Lost Things, The Book of
Secrets, The Book of Kings
When Max's theatrical
parents leave the country without him, he must rely on his wits to get by, and
before long he is running his own--rather unusual--business. He discovers his parents have been kidnapped
and he must rescue them using his innate detective and acting skills.
Missing on Superstition Mountain, Treasure
on Superstition Mountain, Revenge of Superstition Mountain

brothers Simon, Henry, and Jack move with their parents to Arizona, they are
irresistibly drawn to explore the aptly named Superstition Mountain, in spite
of warnings that it is not safe.

England, when twelve-year-old Kat discovers she has magical powers, she tries
to use them to rescue her sister from marrying a man she does not love.

alternate 1914 Europe, fifteen-year-old Austrian Prince Alek, on the run from
the Clanker Powers who are attempting to take over the globe using mechanical
machinery, forms an uneasy alliance with Deryn who, disguised as a boy to join
the British Air Service, is learning to fly genetically-engineered beasts. Great intro to the world of steampunk.
Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar
Children, The Hollow City, The Library of Souls

family tragedy sends sixteen-year-old Jacob journeying to a remote island off
the coast of Wales, where he discovers the crumbling ruins of an old orphanage

found photographs.
