My Review:
Rating:
This was a great book from the start, different from my usual reads. Throughout the story characters over come differences and make new friendships. The story teaches you that just because you are different, it doesn't mean you are not the same at heart.
This book reminded me a lot of Harry Potter, which I think is why I was so drawn to the story. This book allowed us to see the magical world from the familiars side of things. (Like Hedwig!!)
This is definitely a book I would reccommend to any young Harry Potter book lovers out there!!
