Does Scholastic Publish Books Similar To Fablehaven Series?

As a parent who’s always on the lookout for engaging fantasy books for my kids, I’ve spent a lot of time exploring Scholastic’s catalog. The 'Fablehaven' series by Brandon Mull is a fantastic blend of adventure, magic, and mythical creatures, and Scholastic does indeed publish books with similar vibes. One standout is 'The Spiderwick Chronicles' by Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black. It follows the Grace children as they uncover a hidden world of faeries and other supernatural beings right in their own backyard. The series has that same mix of danger and wonder, with a family-centric narrative that makes it relatable for young readers.

Another great pick is 'The Menagerie' by Tui T. Sutherland and Kari H. Sutherland. It’s about a secret zoo full of magical creatures, and the kids who have to protect it from discovery. The tone is lighter than 'Fablehaven,' but it shares that sense of discovery and the thrill of uncovering hidden worlds. Scholastic also publishes 'Wings of Fire' by Tui T. Sutherland, which, while more dragon-focused, has the same epic storytelling and world-building that fantasy lovers crave. The way it explores themes of friendship and destiny echoes the deeper layers in 'Fablehaven.'

For something a bit darker but equally immersive, 'The Novice' by Taran Matharu, part of the 'Summoner' series, is a great choice. It’s got demons, magic, and a boarding school setting—ingredients that make for a gripping read. Scholastic’s selection often leans into these fantastical elements, and their middle-grade to YA range is packed with books that capture the same spirit as 'Fablehaven.' Even 'Keeper of the Lost Cities' by Shannon Messenger, though not published by Scholastic, is often shelved alongside these titles in bookstores because of its similar appeal. Scholastic’s knack for finding stories with rich mythology and heart makes them a go-to for fans of Mull’s work.
