Waiting On Wednesday (5)

“Waiting on” Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Breaking the Spine where we share upcoming releases that we just cannot wait for!


The Familiars by Adam Jay Epstein 

After three young wizard apprentices are kidnapped by the evil queen of a distant land, it is up to their familiars, their magical animal companions — a street smart alley cat, a precocious blue jay, and a bumbling tree frog — to save them.

Release Date: September 7, 2010
I work with kids. I love working with kids. Kids read kid level books. I read kid level books. I LOVE younger kid level books! Especially when they deal with magic and animals! I make it a point to read at least 4 or 5 younger grade novels a year so that I can share them with my students. When I saw this particular book I knew that I would just have to read it when it comes out! It looks and sounds fantastic!
