Format: Paperback / Hardcover

Overview:
Worldquake Sequence brings together three immersive middle-grade fantasies from Scarlett Thomas that chart Effie's growth from curious apprentice to a key player in a universe of parallel worlds. In Dragon's Green, Effie discovers magic through time spent in her grandfather's library, stepping into the Otherworld and confronting the looming threat of the Diberi, a secret organisation bent on destroying the universe. The Chosen Ones follows Effie as she and Maximilian vanish, while Raven, Lexy and Wolf race to uncover danger and a villainous plan orchestrated by Albion Freake. Galloglass, the third installment, heightens the stakes as Effie and her friends must rally their magical skills to defeat the Diberi; imprisonment, peril, and a Midwinter confrontation raise the pulse for readers who crave brisk, twist-laden adventures. This set is the complete Worldquake journey, ideal for fans of magical quests and character-driven friendship narratives.

What This Collection Covers:
Each title threads magic with friendship, danger with humor, and a sense of wonder that invites readers to believe in parallel realms. Across Dragon's Green, The Chosen Ones, and Galloglass, the world-building expands from a time-warped library to a sprawling Otherworld and beyond, introducing the Diberi as a looming modern threat and showing how a tight-knit group learns to trust their instincts and skills. Themes of courage, loyalty, and the cost of power run through the trio—Effie's discovery of her own gifts, the bearing of responsibility when worlds collide, and the bravery required to stand against those who would rewrite reality. The narrative cadence stays fast and accessible for ages 9–12, with moments of humor balanced by high-stakes peril that keeps guardians and gift buyers turning pages.

Book-by-Book Guide:
Dragon's Green
Dragon's Green opens the Worldquake sequence with Effie Truelove discovering that magic can realign reality, thanks to time spent in her grandfather's library. She steps into the Otherworld and meets friends who will become crucial allies in a fight against the Diberi, a shadowy group bent on destroying the universe. The story balances clever spellcraft with brisk danger and warm humor, inviting readers into a vibrant, multi-layered world. This first volume sets the tone for the series—a blend of wonder and peril that rewards curiosity and resilience, while laying the groundwork for friendships that endure across realms.

The Chosen Ones
Effie and Maximilian vanish, and Raven, Lexy, and Wolf race to locate them before time runs out. In a universe where power and money can bend reality, Albion Freake's plans threaten everyone’s safety and force the friends to confront difficult choices.

Effie is mistaken for a galloglass and imprisoned, amplifying danger and emotional tension.
