Have I ever mentioned how much I love bargain/used books? Because I do. While some of them end up being absolutely dreadful, quite a few of them turn out to be surprisingly good and/or entertaining and I found The Familiars to be one of those pleasant surprises. In The Familiars, a street cat name...
This was adorable. It was fun and exciting to read, and the characters were delightful and all different enough that any child reading it will be able to find someone to sympathize with.There are a few things that as an adult reader bothered me but that I'm sure would not be an issue for the target...

The story centers around three animal familiars who have magical capabilities (think the triumvirate of Harry Potter) and their human loyals. Familiars have been in story telling as long as there have been witches and are creatures who...
Great fun - I really liked it! I can't wait to see what happens to Aldwyn next!
I had read this book as a request from one of its authors.Without the request I think I would've just passed by and never even stopped to wonder about the book.Now, what to say...Hum, this book was medicore, to be honest. I'd give it 2.5 stars out of 5 if Goodreads were to have the .5 in its rating ...
