Writer
Brandon Mull spearheaded a seven-book series called Spirit Animals. Each book is written by a different author, but he was given the charge to create the fantasy world where the characters will live, and all the books will be based. The first installment, written by Brandon, called Wild Born was released in September 2013.
Brandon Mull authored the Five Kingdoms series. The first book is titled Sky Raiders and was released March 11, 2014. The second installment, Rogue Knight, arrived November 18, 2014. The third, Crystal Keepers, arrived on March 17, 2015. The fourth, Death Weavers, was released on March 1, 2016. Of this series, Brandon Mull says, "It'll be for the kind of readers who liked Fablehaven. A Halloween spook alley turns out to be a front for slave traders taking kids into another world. It'll be cool, promise."
On Mull's Facebook page he mentioned that he is planning a second Fablehaven series, but wouldn't get serious about it until some of his other projects are finished, like Spirit Animals, possibly not until 2015. Brandon announced at the launching of Spirit Animals that there is a very good plan for the Fablehaven sequel series to be published in 2016.
