The Familiar

Some girls wake up to alarm clocks. Hazel woke up naked on a stranger's kitchen floor... with no memory of how she got there.

Hazel Smith has always felt a little different-offbeat, artistic, and never quite in sync with her small New England town. But nothing prepares her for the truth that explodes her world: she's not entirely human.

After waking up battered and confused in a mysterious house, Hazel begins to change-literally. A tail. Gills. Fur. Her mom finally confesses the unbelievable: Hazel's father was a shape-shifting familiar, and Hazel has inherited his powers.

As Hazel struggles to control her unpredictable transformations, she's sent to a hidden camp for teens like her-young shifters learning to survive in a world that doesn't know they exist. There, she must navigate magical traditions, emotional upheaval, and a legacy tied to secrets that may explain her father's disappearance.

With her best friend drifting away, her powers growing stronger, and her heart being pulled in new directions, Hazel must embrace her true identity-or risk losing everything.

Perfect for fans of House of Night, Beautiful Creatures, and The Owl House, The Familiar is a heart-pounding YA fantasy about finding your place when your world turns upside down.
