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!

The Familiars is a great book about magic, animals, and friendship. Aldwin is a normal cat, until the butcher hires a bounty hunter to catch him. He ends up in a Familiars shop and gets picked by a new wizard named Jack. At Jack's home, he meets a bluejay and a frog, also familiars, who share many adventures together. But when their Loyals get kidnapped, the three friends must go on a periolus journey to rescue their human companions. With many bumps on the way, the story comes to a terrific conclusion and a great ending. I highly reccomend this book, and you should definently read this book.

Aldwyn, Gilbert and Skylar shouldered a great responsibility of rescuing their loyals from danger, they set off on an adventure. On the way to the destination, the familiars faced troubles and overcame them which made their friendship closer and closer. When the familiars finally reached their goal, saving their loyals, unexpectedly, they found out that incredible secrets had been hidden deep between them......When there is only a few hour left to rescue their loyals, the familiars had been in an argument of dishonesty and irresponsibility. How can the familiars unite again in this darkest moment on the quest? Can Jack, Marianne and Dalton survive under Queen Loranella's evil hand? What incredible hidden message will the familiars find during the rest of the journey?
