5 books by Kenny Abdo. Reading level: Grades 3.5–3.9. Middle Grades (Ages 9–12).

History of Games (5 books by Kenny Abdo) lands at reading level Grades 3.5–3.9, with average content intensity 1/5. Intensity stays consistent across the series — a kid who can handle the first book can generally handle the rest.
