The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of FAMILY
PETS from Silver Dragon Books. The story is by Pat Shand, art by Sarah Dill, and
letters by Jim Campbell.
Thomasina leads a rather lonely life. Her parents died on
her fifth birthday, lives in the basement of her uncle and aunt’s house with
her grandmother, and has no friends. All that matters is her pet snake Sebastian
and Smitty, the boy whom she has a crush on. After making a simple wish, Thomasina’s
life is turned upside down as Sebastian is now human and her family (except
grandma Abuela) are now animals! What follows is an adventure that will take her to
a magical world, and maybe a possible reunion along the way?
Silver Dragon Books is the all-ages imprint of Zenescope
Entertainment. The imprint doesn’t put out a lot of books, but it’s usually
high quality material. FAMILY PETS is no exception. Pat Shand crafts (no pun
intended) a nice little tale with the right combination of humor, adventure and
drama and characters are very relatable. Sarah Dill’s art is simple, clean,
yet effective and looks great. Highly recommended.
FAMILY PETS is in stores now, or available for ordering
at www.silverdragonbooks.com.
