For many of us, the first four Obernewtyn Chronicles are a separate group, set apart from the later books of the series.

One of my friends had read it, and she was recommended by our teacher librarian to read it. I soon followed, and ended up reading The Stone Key before she did. We both loved the series, and discussed a few theories, and kept track of the developments with The Sending.
