Spirit Animals is a multi-author middle-grade fantasy series published by Scholastic. Marie Lu contributed alongside other authors to this sequence about children who summon spirit animals and must save their world. The series includes main novels and companion books like Tales of the Great Beasts.
The main novels follow four children from different lands who each summon a legendary Great Beast as their spirit animal. Wild Born (2013) sets the adventure in motion, and the stakes build through Hunted, Blood Ties, Fire and Ice, and Rise and Fall, all published in 2014. The Evertree (2015) wraps up the original story arc.
Each book was written by a different author, giving each installment a slightly different voice while the overarching plot stays consistent. Readers who finish the original seven-book run can continue into the Fall of the Beasts sequel series, which picks up where The Evertree leaves off.
