M.A. Larson height - How tall is M.A. Larson?

Larson has since written two sequels, The Shadow Cadets of Pennyroyal Academy (2016) and The Warrior Princess of Pennyroyal Academy (2017).

In November 2014, Larson's first novel, Pennyroyal Academy, was published under his M.A. Larson moniker. Currently is the Head Writer of Lauren Faust's ongoing show DC Super Hero Girls.

Larson wrote Pennyroyal Academy which was published in November 2014 by Putnam. Larson was influenced by what he called "princess fatigue" in the popular culture during his time writing for Cartoon Network shows. Brainstorming from this, he considered a children's work where many different princesses would be together in one place, dealing with having to live together. He originally called it Princess Boot Camp, where the princess characters would undergo rigorous training in a parody of a military-like boot camp approach. As he began developing the book, he had read The Uses of Enchantment by Bruno Bettelheim, which analyzed works like Grimm's Fairy Tales using Freudian psychology and concluded that the darker elements of these stories enable children to help develop their emotions. Inspired by this analysis, Larson revamped his work over a six-year period to target a slightly older audience with scarier elements and with less humor. The resulting book became Pennyroyal Academy, which centers on school for budding princesses and knights that train to fight approaching armies led by evil witches. Larson noted that his experience with the characters of Friendship Is Magic resonated in his approach with Pennyroyal Academy.
