The perfect middle-grades magical adventure
I am absolutely enamored with this series and have devoured what's available quickly, and I'm impatiently waiting for more! Amanda Foody has such amazing world-building skills! Each novel so far (up to #3) has been set in a different type of environment, and I've really felt like I've traveled the world with each one! The main character also starts as a very reluctant adventurer, and it's been wonderful to watch him really grow into himself. Can't wait for more!

Wonderful Imaginary World
Clear and beautiful language with sentences packed full of story, the reader is drawn in at once and understands the imaginary world created by the author. Barclay accidentally becomes an apprentice by going too far into the woods, which he never meant to do. We soon have sympathy for him which only increases as he endures participating in magic competitions. The difficult choice of whether to join the magic people or return to Dullshire tugs at his thoughts until the end of the book. He learns the hard way over and over, while feeling unworthy and unsuccessful. The end of the book is not so satisfying as to prevent children from wanting to read book two in the series. The story and many clever characters will charm and delight readers in grades three through seven. Thanks to Netgalley and Random House Publishing Group for a digital galley in exchange for an honest review

Great Read with interesting companion amimals
4.5 atars This was such a fun read. I loved the characters and their Beasts. The competition aspect was interesting and I loved how Barclay and his Beast closer together. There were some reveals that happened that I didn't see coming so that was also quite interesting. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoys middle grade, magical familiars and adventure. We really only got to see one area of this world but I am looking forward to the next book where we should get to see more of the world. I won an ARC via a giveaway from the author; All opinions are my own.
