Ashley asked this question about Gwendy's Final Task (The Button Box, #3):
Do you need to read the previous two books before reading this one?

The first two also take place in very different places in the main character's life, so you get allot more of the character building.

Overall, I think you can probably just read the third book without being incredibly lost, but you probably will lose some of the things that make the story special.(less)
