A group of magical misfit animals learns to appreciate their seemingly useless powersâand themselvesâwhen they work together to thwart a villainâs attempt to steal their magic.
Holly, a grey squirrel, and her animal friends have accepted that they will never be wizardsâ familiars. Though they are each magical, their powers are so offbeatâHolly herself can conjure pastries (and only pastries)âthat no professional magic-worker would choose any of them as a companion for noble quests. So instead of going on adventures, they languish at the Shelter for Rejected Familiars, where they are known as âshelterlings.â
When an old friend appears with a plan for curing the shelterlingsâ defective magic, everyone is on board to help him locate and retrieve the ingredients for a powerful spell. But when they learn that his offer is not what it seems, Holly and the shelterlings must fight to defend their magic, discovering in the process that their unorthodox skills may just be what is needed to save the day.
What happens when the powers everyone dismissed as useless become the only thing that can save the day? Misfit Heroes: Meet Holly, a squirrel who can only conjure pastries, and her friendsâan owl who turns to stone, a super-fast turtle who canât steer, and a cow whose prophecies are always wrong.Found Family: At the Shelter for Rejected Familiars, a charming group of magical outcasts learns that home isnât a place, but the friends who accept you, weird powers and all.Self-Acceptance: A powerful lesson about embracing who you are, discovering that the quirks that make you different also make you strong.A Heartwarming Adventure: When a friendâs promise to âcureâ their magic turns out to be a trap, the shelterlings must unite to protect the very powers they once wished away.
