About Beast Quest Book
Beast Quest
Beast Quest is a best-selling series of children's fantasy/adventure novels produced by Working Partners Ltd and written by several authors all using the house name Adam Blade. Adam Blade was in his twenties. [1] An editorial team at Working Partners first creates the storyline for each book and "then approach[es] a number of writers whose experience and style we think might suit the project and ask them to write a sample – usually the first three chapters of the book... The editorial team picks the sample with the voice that we think works best for the project."[2] The main series had achieved 130 books published by mid-2019. 18 million copies of the books sold to date.[3]
The series is published by Orchard Books in the UK and by Scholastic Corporation in the US and is aimed largely at boys aged 7 and over.[4][5] The novels have been described as "clearly and simply written, [striking] the right balance between adventure and story telling" and a "great series to get lads, who normally wouldn't be, interested in reading."[6] Kathryn Flett, writing in London's The Observer, has called the books "almost certainly a work of publishing (if not quite literary) genius... Narnia meets Pokémon via Potter."[7] The books are among the most-borrowed from UK lending libraries.[8][9] There is also a companion science fiction series called Sea Quest.[10]
There is also a 2015 mobile video game based on the book, and a 2018 version for Xbox One and PS4 (Maximum Games). A new mobile version was released in May 2020 by Animoca.[11]
