Series books grow with readers — but that's also the trap. Most series start at one reading level and one content intensity and drift upward over the course of the run. Little Pebble; Bodies of Water (Capstone/Pebble) (2 books by Erika L. Shores) lands at a grade 1 reading level, with average content intensity 1.5/5. Intensity stays consistent across the series, so a reader who can handle the first book can generally handle the rest.

The reading-order table above lists every book with per-volume reading level, age and intensity ratings so you can spot any escalation before it catches your reader off guard.
