Blizzard Entertainment Inc has announced that it is partnering up with book publisher Scholastic Corp to release World of Warcraft: Traveler, a series of adventure books aimed at children.

“Every Blizzard game from Warcraft on has really had roots and a foundation in story, and I think we really see ourselves as world builders as much as we do as game designers, game developers,” James Waugh, Director, Story & Creative Development at Blizzard Entertainment, said in a video announcing the new series.

“We all grew up playing this game, even if we worked on it. We grew up playing in Azeroth and playing these worlds, and we kind of want to share the experience of Azeroth with our kids. What if we crafted a story that was younger, a story from a kid’s point of view? How would they see the world of Azeroth?”

The new series will be written by Greg Weisman, who is best known as one of the creators of the Gargoyles animated series. He has also written stories for a number of other animated series and comic books, including DC Comics’ Young Justice series, which features teenage superheroes.

The first book will also feature full-page sketches by Blizzard artist Samwise Didier, as well as a full-color cover illustration by Blizzard artist Stephane Belin.

Here is Blizzard’s full description of the plot for the new book series:

It’s been years since twelve-year-old Aramar Thorne, a clever boy who is never without his precious sketch book, has seen his father. So when Captain Greydon Thorne comes ashore and asks his son to join him at sea, it feels as if someone has redrawn Aram’s entire world. Before he knows it, Aram is aboard the Wavestrider with Lakeshire fading to a distant dot on the horizon. But the thrill of adventure quickly fades, as Greydon relentlessly schools Aram on how to handle his cutlass and how to relate with the strange and diverse creatures of Azeroth. In addition, Aram struggles to get along with the Wavestrider’s crew—especially second mate Makasa, a tough teenaged girl who has been reluctantly placed in charge of him. Just as Aram starts to get his head above water, a band of vicious pirates attack the Wavestrider, turning his world upside down once again. As Aram tries to find his way home with his father’s compass in hand, he’ll travel across Azeroth’s beautiful and hostile terrain, encountering creatures both terrible and wondrous. He’ll seek to understand Azeroth’s denizens as he draws them in his sketchbook, forming unlikely friendships along the way. But the journey is hindered by Greydon’s compass, which never points north. If the compass isn’t leading Aram and Makasa home–to safety–to what destiny is it leading them?

The first World of Warcraft: Traveler book will release in November 2016.
