THE FAMILIARS are the magical animal companions to a wizard or witch. When three young wizards-in-training get kidnapped by the evil queen of the land, it is up to their familiars to go a dangerous journey to rescue them. You'll meet Aldwyn, an orphan alley cat pretending to have telekinesis; Skylar, a know-it-all blue jay who can cast illusions; and Gilbert, a hapless tree frog with the ability to see visions of the future in pools of water. See what happens when these three animal assistants -- typically relegated to the background or found sitting quietly on their wizard's shoulders -- go on a heroic adventure of their own!

I loved this book so much and I recommend this series. All three books are a must read! I would recommend this to everyone. If you like Harry Potter and Warriors series you will LOVE this book series!
It's my new favorite book. I really liked the characters. The plot was a lot of fun. The surprise plot twist in the end was good. I can't wait to read the next books in the series.
One of the most exciting books I've read so far! SPOILER ALERT---- When Aldwyn is caught and hunted down for stealing the fishmonger's catch, he must run into the nearest shop, which ironically is a store in which an old magician sells familiars (wizards and witch's magical "sidekicks." ) There, a young wizard's apprentice is seeking his first familiar. When he picks Aldwyn and is captured by the queen, it's up to Aldwyn and the other apprentice's familiars to save their loyals AND their kingdom. Can they pull it off?
Best book ever! Reminds me of my friends and full of adventure.
