Some big news!

The Third Quest is now a full series — and we have a newly designed website to match!

If you work with older students who need powerful reading support, you can now explore how our interventions work independently or together to accelerate growth.

Here’s how the journey has unfolded:

✨ 2018 – We launched The Third Quest: Mysterious Travels reading intervention. The impact was immediate. Success stories poured in… along with requests for more!

✨ 2021 – We introduced The Parallel Universe: Uncommon Adventures — a shorter intervention designed to prepare students for The Third Quest.

And because good things come in threes…

✨ 2026 – We proudly present The Hallway: Perilous Journeys!
Our most comprehensive intervention yet — addressing both reading and writing in response to reading to deepen comprehension and student confidence.

We can’t wait for you to explore the full series and see how these interventions work together to transform outcomes for older readers. Visit us at thethirdquest.com
