Beast Quest is a best-selling British series of children's fantasy–adventure novels produced by Working Partners Ltd and written by several authors all using the house name Adam Blade.[1] As of October 2024, the main series had achieved a total of 154 books, Master Your Destiny and Special Editions published, and over 20 million copies of the books have been sold altogether since March 2007.[2][3]
The series is published by Orchard Books in the UK and by Scholastic Corporation in the US and is aimed largely at boys and girls aged 7 and over.[4][5] The books take place in a world called Avantia, and focus on a young boy named Tom and his friend Elenna as they attempt to restore peace to the land by stopping beasts from causing destruction.[6][7] 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] From 2021 to 2023, a short spin-off series called Space Wars consisting of four books was published. There is also a 2015 mobile video game based on the Beast Quest book series, and a 2018 version for Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PS4 (Maximum Games). A new mobile version was released in May 2020 by Animoca.
