![]() ![]() The two defeated Great Beasts from long ago are rising again, and war is engulfing the world. Now Connor, a shepherd boy from the European equivalent, Abeke, from the African, Meilin, from the Chinese, and Rollan, from the colonial North American, must learn to trust their spirit animals so that they can tap into their powers. They are four of the twelve Great Beasts-mythical beings of legend-the Wolf, the Leopard, the Panda, and the Falcon, who died long ago in battle against two of their kind who had turned rogue. But this year, four children summon spirit animals that no child before them ever has. These children become Greencloaks, traveling the world to help others safely bond with spirit animals. ![]() ![]() In a fantasy world modeled loosely on our own, with equivalents of Europe, Asia, the Americas and Africa, some children form mystical bonds with spirit animals, who become their companions for life. When this book arrived in the mail, it's kid-appeal was just bursting out of its cover image-brave, multicultural kids with cool spirit animal companions-and my ten-year-old pounced on it. Wild Born, Spirit Animals Book 1, by Brandon Mull (September 2013), is the first book of a new multi-authored series from Scholastic. ![]()
