A note for parents
Sky Raiders is a well-crafted adventure fantasy from a bestselling author known for middle-grade work. The story emphasizes bravery, loyalty, and selflessness as Cole risks himself to help friends and strangers, with protagonists who model good judgment and courage. While there are fantasy action sequences and some scary moments in a magical realm, violence is non-graphic and appropriate for the target age group; the emotional tone is adventure-driven rather than dark.

Adventure awaits in the Five Kingdoms—come and claim it in this start to a new series from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Fablehaven and Beyonders series. Cole Randolph was just trying to have a fun time with his friends on Halloween (and maybe get to know Jenna Hunt a little better). But when a spooky haunted house turns out to be a portal to something much creepier, Cole finds himself on an adventure on a whole different level. After Cole sees his friends whisked away to some mysterious place underneath the haunted house, he dives in after them—and ends up in The Outskirts. The Outskirts are made up of five kingdoms that lie between wakefulness and dreaming, reality and imagination, life and death. It’s an in-between place. Some people are born there. Some find their way there from our world, or from other worlds. And once you come to the Outskirts, it’s very hard to leave. With the magic of the Outskirts starting to unravel, it’s up to Cole and an unusual girl named Mira to rescue his friends, set things right in the Outskirts, and hopefully find his way back home… before his existence is forgotten. ---------- Books in this series 1.
