Narrado por: Lincoln Hoppe

For fans of Warriors and The Magic Thief comes a magical adventure story about a street cat who's mistaken for a wizard’s familiar.

When Aldwyn, a young alley cat on the run, ducks into a mysterious pet shop, he doesn’t expect his life to change. But that’s exactly what happens when Jack, a young wizard in training, picks Aldwyn to be his magical familiar.

Finally off the tough streets, Aldwyn thinks he’s got it made. He just has to convince the other familiars—the know-it-all blue jay Skylar and the friendly tree frog Gilbert—that he’s the telekinetic cat he claims to be. But when Jack and two other wizards in training are captured by the evil queen, Aldwyn will have to use all of his street smarts, a few good friends, and a nose for adventure to save the day!

And don’t miss the exciting sequel to this Indie Next List pick, The Familiars: Secrets of the Crown.

The Familiars

My daughter and I both loved this book. My daughter loves cats and to hear the story from the animals perspective was refreshing. It was clever and kept us both engaged through the entire story.

Need the second and third books!

I remembered reading these books years ago and loving them. Great listen for adults and kids.

The Familars review

I love the book just so SO good!!!! I love everything about it!!!! So good

Loved it!

I loved the characters right from the start! I can't wait till they put the second book in audible!

Good kid's story

Listened to this one with my 4th-grade daughter and both of us found it to be enjoyable. The animal "familiars" were creative characters and the fictional premise of the story was well developed. A recommended listen.

Blah Storyline. Good Performance

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

nope

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

made for tv ending....it was obvious that the author wanted to create a cliffhanger-type situation to lead you into the second book, which has a similar ending.

Did The Familiars inspire you to do anything?

nope

My review

This book was amazing I loved how it was told and the story this book was the best book ever

I fell in Love!!!💘

I love this book!!! How popular does this book need to be for book 2 to come out on Audible?!?!

Cute Story!

I really enjoyed this story. I am not a Harry Potter fan, so I had no idea what a "Familiar" was. The descriptions are very entertaining, but not gory like some novels can be. I would say this is somewhere between a 4-5th grade reading level for easy reading. I don't want to say much about the story, but... BEWARE young readers - this book will cast a spell over you and you won't be released until the last word in the fourth book! Be prepared for a fun filled weekend of reading (or listening) to all three book!

Might not be age-appropriate for younger kids

Was too scary for my
Almost 9-year old daughter. Reading it might be better-suited but the audio version really scared her.
