The series by Jude Watson - Jedi Quest Series and Last of the Jedi are for young adults... The Jedi Quest series contains stories while Anakin is still a padawan. Its like the adventures of anakin and obi wan. The Last of the Jedi series contains the same characters as Jedi Quest but is the story after episode 3. You can actually skip these two series if you want. The story and characters are not part of the "main stream or movie story."
For the clone wars series, you can just watch the TV series. Though the stories are different.
