Warriors: The Broken Code Books in Order
6 books by Erin Hunter. Reading level: Grades 4.3–5.9. Middle Grades (Ages 9–12).
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. Warriors: The Broken Code (6 books by Erin Hunter) lands at reading level Grades 4.3–5.9, with average content intensity 2.3/5. Intensity stays consistent across the series — a kid who can handle the first book can generally handle the rest.
The reading-order table below lists every book with per-volume reading level and intensity badges so you can spot any escalation before it catches your reader off guard. For a deeper dive into how we score text difficulty vs. emotional weight separately — and why series readers especially benefit from that split — see our methodology page.
