Summary:
When human magic disappears suddenly from Vastia, it falls on the familiars, Aldwyn the telekinetic cat, Skylar the know-it-all blue jay, and Gilbert the gullible tree frog--to find the Crown of the Snow Leopard, an ancient relic that can reverse the curse. They learn that the only way to do this is by following in the purple paw prints of Aldwyn's father, who'd gone missing while searching for the Crown years earlier. This magical spirit trail extends into the Beyond, where our heroes encounter new enemies and danger, while Aldwyn learns about his mysterious past.

Review:
A cute story that anyone with a love of magic can enjoy. Each step the heroes take on their journey leaves you wanting to learn even more about the world that surrounds them. And while not an overt theme, one can read the story as a child who has just found a home for himself, who happens to come across a connection to his parents, and starts to truly seek out who his parents really were. And then asks that child the questions of: will you be happy from what you’ve learned, just how much do your parents define you, and even if you can’t see any reason to like them, should you want to do honor to their memory? This was a great book that I highly recommend!
