Lightfall books in order
Ages 8–12 · about grade 3 comic · still going
There are 4 Lightfall books. Start with Lightfall: The Girl & the Galdurian (2020) and read them in number order. The newest is book 4, A Place Between (2026). Peabody's own estimate: HarperCollins's page would not open for us, and Bookroo and Kirkus both show 8 to 12.
What reading it is like: Detailed comic panels with short speech bubbles, a lot of invented places and a long story that builds.

What's next for Lightfall
- Book 5: A listing says a fifth book is coming in 2027. We saw no title or day, so it is not counted yet.
Do you have to read Lightfall in order?
Read them in number order. It is one long quest, and each book picks up straight after the last, with new places and clues that only make sense if you read the earlier ones. A child who skips ahead will be lost.
What age is Lightfall for?
Eight to twelve is Peabody's estimate, not a reading level. The panels are busy and the world has many strange names, which can slow a young reader, but the pictures help. We don't print reading-level scores: they belong to the companies that make them.
What's it like inside Lightfall?
- Words: Some words on a page.
- Panels: About 4 to 6 panels a page.
- Colour: Full colour.
- Which way: Left to right, like most books.
- Length: Book 1 has 256 pages.
- Feels: Exciting, a little scary, sad bits. A home is lost.
About book 1. The page count is from openlibrary.org; the rest is Peabody's own note, never a score.
