Stormglass Chronicles Books in Order

The Stormglass Chronicles begins with The Stormglass Protocol, a middle-grade spy adventure written by Tim Pratt and Andy Deemer. Its hero is Jake Hale, a fourteen-year-old who spends part of his summer pretending to be a secret agent because real life feels painfully uneventful.

Then real spies show up at his door.

Jake is recruited by Stormglass, a secret international organization that relies on young agents with sharp minds and a strong sense of right and wrong. Alongside fellow operatives Lizzie and Filby, he gets pulled out of suburban boredom and into a mission involving a powerful corporation, dangerous science, and a plot with consequences far beyond his neighborhood.

The first book moves quickly. There are surveillance scenes, gadgets, globe-spanning travel, villains with enormous plans, and a group of kids who have to think on their feet when adults cannot be trusted to solve the problem. The threat involves altered bees and a possible ecological disaster, which gives the adventure a real-world edge beneath its comic-book energy.

It is kid-spy fiction with a science-fiction twist.

Jake is a useful lead because he begins as an imaginative outsider, not a trained prodigy. He wants excitement, but he learns that actual danger brings responsibility, fear, and difficult moral choices. His relationship with the other young agents grows as they learn what they can and cannot depend on from one another.

The series has a bright, high-speed tone. It is built for readers who like secret headquarters, chase scenes, ridiculous villainy, and smart kids getting a chance to matter. But it also takes its environmental stakes seriously enough that the mission does not feel like empty noise.

Start with The Stormglass Protocol.

It introduces Jake, Stormglass, and the mix of espionage and speculative adventure that defines the series. The story works as a complete mission while also leaving room for more adventures in the same world.

Expect a fast summer-break fantasy, except the spy gear is real and the bees may be deadly.
