First, a word about Everworld. I enjoyed the series, but it is not for everyone. Written for a teenage audience, it nonetheless will appeal to adult readers. I would not recommend it for the squeamish, however. It is an intelligent series, but a bit dark and a bit bloody at times. The content is most decidedly on the high side of PG-13. There's nothing here they wouldn't show us on prime time television, and the depth of characterization is impressive. K.A. Applegate has created a very real fantasy world, and it's a shame the series isn't still around. Oh, and read the things in order. That is an absolute must with this series; it's not that you won't be able to follow the story, but you'll really be missing out if you skip ahead. |
| Search for Senna | K.A. Applegate | Meet the players and jump into Everworld. You absolutely have to start here; you'll be sorry if you don't. |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| Land of Loss | K.A. Applegate | Vikings, Aztecs, and Huitzilopoctli. I'd run the other way, but these four kids from the suburbs of Chicago wade right into the middle of it all. |
|
| Enter the Enchanted | K.A. Applegate | Enter Merlin and the Knights of the Round Table. |
|
| Realm of the Reaper | K.A. Applegate | Remember my warning for the squeamish; here's a pretty good example of why. Meet Loki's delightful daughter Hel. |
|
| Discover the Destroyer | K.A. Applegate | Fairy Land will never be the same after a visit from our gang. |
|
| Fear the Fantastic | K.A. Applegate | The kids come upon the land of Ka Anor. |
|
| Gateway to the Gods | K.A. Applegate | Mount Olympus is under siege, and the kids are right in the thick of things. |
|
| Brave the Betrayal | K.A. Applegate | Brush up on your African mythology. This one's really fascinating, as well as frightening. |
|
| Inside the Illusion | K.A. Applegate | This is the most fascinating, and the most disturbing, place you'll visit in Everworld: Inside the mind of Senna Wales. |
|
| Understand the Unknown | K.A. Applegate | You knew it had to happen. Atlantis. |
|
| Mystify the Magician | K.A. Applegate | The kids reach Eire, and things really begin to happen. |
|
| Entertain the End | K.A. Applegate | The grand finale leaves a lot of hanging threads. I hope the series continues someday. |
