Jonathan W. Stokes writes for younger readers, with all eight of his books published in a concentrated burst between 2016 and 2019. The Addison Cooke series follows an adventure-driven format, starting with Addison Cooke and the Treasure of the Incas and continuing through the Tomb of the Khan and Ring of Destiny. The titles suggest globe-trotting treasure hunts in the spirit of classic middle-grade adventure fiction.
The Thrifty Guides to History take a different approach, blending humor with historical subjects. Framed as handbooks for time travelers, the series covers the American Revolution, Ancient Rome, Ancient Greece, and Medieval Times, all published in 2018 and 2019. Between the two series, Stokes managed a productive four-year stretch and then went quiet, leaving readers with a compact but well-defined catalog.
