What's your spirit animal?

Hitting bookstores Tuesday, June 24, the fourth book in the SPIRIT ANIMALS series, Fire and Ice. Brandon Mull wrote the first book and was the series architect and a different author writes each subsequent book. I had a blast working on this story. It was a challenge but also tremendous fun to take up someone else's characters and help continue their story. I can't wait to see what happens to Rollan, Meilin, Abeke, and Conor in books 5-7! If you or young readers you know are following this series, I'd love to hear what you think so far and your response to my contribution.

If you had a spirit animal, what would it be? Which of the animal's inherent skills would you gain through the bond? I always wanted a big, red-maned lion.
