Do you have to read Ham Helsing in order?

Read them in number order. It is one story that continues from book to book, and the later books count on what happened before, including how the main character came to lead his family's monster-hunting work.

What age is Ham Helsing for?

Eight to twelve is the publisher's age for the first book, not a reading level. The funny pictures carry much of the story, but there is a lot of text on the pages, so it suits a reader who is comfortable with chapter books. We don't print reading-level scores: they belong to the companies that make them.

About book 1. The page count is from penguinrandomhouse.com, the colour from the publisher's page; the rest is Peabody's own note, never a score.
