I got one book, for free from my libary (# 3) so at that time I did not even realize these were a series. But I really enjoyed that one so I went back to start at the beginning with this book. I don't think you have to read them in order, there is enough information that I did not feel lost reading them out of order. I really liked the story of this first book, the characters were very endearing in my opinion. I hope this helps someone else enjoy a good series.
