The second magical adventure in a major new trilogy – a thrilling blend of edge-of-your-seat action, laugh-out-loud humour and unforgettable characters. No wonder Sony snapped up film rights, to be directed by Pixar animator Doug Sweetland.

A curse has befallen the land of Vastia, eliminating human magic. Only animals are able to cast spells, and it is up to street wise cat, Aldwyn, know-it-all blue jay Skylar, and clumsy tree frog Gilbert to save the Queendom from the evil threatening it. And orphan Aldwyn discovers the truth about his past, embarking on a journey that brings him closer to the father he never knew.

An epic and action filled adventure with a sprinkling of animal magic!

Review:

Praise for The Familiars: Animal Wizardry:

"A captivating story that puts a fresh spin on the classic fantasy tale by telling it from the animals' point of view. Prepare yourself for more twists and turns than you can shake a wand at, and cliff-hangers by the dozen!" Roderick Gordon, author of Tunnels

"The Familiars combines the magic of Harry Potter and the adventure of Warriors into an enchanting story readers will love. Whether furry, flippered or feathered you'll be taking a closer look at your family pet." Michael Buckley, author of The Sisters Grimm and NERDS

About the Author:

Adam Jay Epstein spent his childhood in Great Neck, New York, while Andrew Jacobson grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, but the two met in a parking garage out in Los Angeles. They have been writing for film and television together ever since.

One day, Adam asked Andrew, "Are you familiar with what a familiar is?" And from that simple question, Vastia was born, a fantastical world filled with the authors' shared love of animals and magic.

Adam Jay Epstein lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Jane, their daughter, Penny, and a black-and-white alley cat.

Andrew Jacobson lives with his wife, Ashley, and their dog, Elvis, four traffic lights away.
