Alec London Books in Order

The Alec London books are Stephanie Perry Moore and Derrick Moore's answer to a question a lot of families have, what do boys get when they want realistic stories about school, sports, friendship, and faith without a lot of extra fluff? Alec is a regular kid dealing with regular frustrations, and that is exactly the point.

He first appears in the Morgan Love world, but this series brings him to center stage. The books follow Alec through the kind of changes that can throw any boy off balance, pressure at school, trouble with other kids, hard feelings at home, and the push to prove himself. Football matters here, but it is never only about football.

Alec is the sort of character who gets irritated, makes mistakes, and sometimes thinks life is stacked against him. That makes the series feel honest. He is not written as a perfect lesson machine. He is written as a boy who has to learn self-control, respect, effort, and leadership one problem at a time.

Adults matter in these books too. Parents, teachers, and coaches are part of the story, not just scenery. The series keeps coming back to the idea that growing up means learning the rules of more than just a game. It means figuring out how to respond when you feel overlooked, embarrassed, or angry.

The tone is straightforward and encouraging. These are chapter books for readers who want action and movement, but also want characters who are learning how to make better choices. If you like school stories with sports in the mix and a strong character-building thread running underneath, Alec London is an easy place to start.
