Book description
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!
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 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.
