Question 1

In what order do I need to read The Crystal Palace Chronicles?

Accepted Answer

The 'time travel trilogy' following Joe's adventures into Crystal Palace past should be read Star of Nimrod, Palace of Shadows and Palace of Flames.

The action in Palace Above the Clouds is set between Star of Nimrod and Palace of Shadows when Joe is back in our time. It follows our favourite Victorian friends and there aren't any spoilers so you could read it in chronological order if you wanted

Palace of Beasts is also set between Star of Nimrod and Palace of Shadows and could be read and enjoyed at any point - this novella is free for anyone signing up to my author newsletter.

Question 2

Do I need to to read The Crystal Palace Chronicles before Adventures of Young H. G. Wells?

Accepted Answer

Adventures of Young H. G. Wells can be enjoyed without having read the Chronicles series, but there's fun to be had from reading both. There are links and characters who cross over - including Bertie himself before taking centre stage (which is where he's always believed he belongs!)

Question 3

How many Bertie books will there be?

Accepted Answer

There are six Bertie adventures;

Bertie & The Invisible Menace
Bertie & The War Among the Stars
Bertie & The Time Paradox
Bertie & The Time Race
Bertie & The Carnival of Curious Creatures
Bertie & The Mysterious Toy Shop
