Lucy Daniels is the pen name behind the Animal Ark franchise, one of the most successful children’s book series about animals. The name was created by Working Partners, a book packaging company, and the books have been written by various ghostwriters over the decades. The franchise has produced over 230 books across sixteen different series since 1994.
The core Animal Ark series follows Mandy Hope, the daughter of two veterinarians, as she encounters animals in need of help. Spin-off series include Animal Ark Pets, Little Animal Ark, Animal Ark Hauntings (which adds supernatural elements), and New Animal Ark, a modern relaunch for contemporary readers. Related series like Jess: The Border Collie, Hope Meadows, and Safari Summer expand the brand into different settings and formats while maintaining the focus on animals and the children who care for them.
