Skylanders Universe Books in Order

Barry Hutchison's Skylanders Universe books sit inside the larger game world of Skylands, where heroes, villains, portals, and elemental powers all rub together in a bright, fast-moving fantasy setting. Rather than one long original novel sequence, this page gathers the tie-ins and guides connected to that universe.

That means variety is part of the appeal.

Some of these books lean toward story, using the familiar Skylanders conflict between the forces of good and Kaos to frame new adventures. Others lean more toward worldbuilding, giving readers tours of Skylands, its elemental regions, and the characters who keep that world running. The element books are a good example of that approach, using Fire, Water, Air, and Earth as a way into the setting's rules and texture.

Because the source material is already big and busy, these books work best as companion reading. They are meant to deepen a world readers may already know from the games, rather than replace that experience. Hutchison's role is to keep the tone lively and approachable, while making sure the magic systems, villains, and action beats still feel recognizably Skylanders.

So this page is a useful stop if you want more time in Skylands, a little extra lore, or a kid-friendly route into the setting through short, accessible books. It is franchise writing, but it still shows Hutchison's knack for pace, clarity, and playful adventure.
