Familiar Magic

In this new comic hybrid from the award-winning creator of the Dragonbreath and Hamster Princess series, a group of animal assistants work their tails off to keep a magical city running!

Tourists flock to the magical city of Mandragora to see important witches and wizards and their animal familiars. But it’s not easy being a familiar, especially for Rattagan the rat! First of all, there’s a surprising amount of scrubbing to do. Second of all, Rattagan’s forgetful old wizard keeps confusing his spells and calling Rattagan by the wrong name. Rattagan has resigned himself to an embarrassing, dreary life—until a feisty guinea pig named Hester moves in next door and stirs things up. When Rattagan’s wizard gets himself in trouble, Hester might be the perfect partner to help Rattagan save the day.

Featuring Ursula Vernon’s signature wit and action-packed illustrations by Meggie Johnson, this is a rollicking adventure through a touristy world of magic.
