Do you have to read Sanity & Tallulah in order?
Read them in number order. The three books follow the same two friends and the same station, and each ends in a way that sets up the next, so the later books lean on what happened before.
What age is Sanity & Tallulah for?
Eight to twelve is the publisher's age for the third book, and the first two sit a year higher on Bookroo, so treat it as 8 or 9 and up. It is not a reading level. The science talk and the crowded panels are easier for a child who already reads comics. We don't print reading-level scores: they belong to the companies that make them.
