Based on the novel The Axolotl Familiar — now brought to life with over 100 full-color, anime-style illustrations!
Axol always thought being a magical familiar would be glamorous—maybe even heroic. In reality? He’s more like a glorified housekeeper for Serina, a spoiled 14-year-old mermaid witch-in-training with a knack for magical disasters.
Sure, Axol can talk, cast spells, and clean up chaos like a pro (someone has to). But between mopping endless castle hallways and dodging Serina’s temper tantrums, even a magic-wielding axolotl has his limits.
Life under the sea takes a wild turn when Serina drags Axol to MerMage Academy for "Bring Your Familiar to School Day." There, Axol discovers two shocking truths:
1. Serina is not the school's Queen Bee—she’s more like a villain in training.
2. Above the ocean lies the Sea of Stars... and maybe, just maybe, a rabbit living on the moon.
For the first time, Axol dares to dream beyond the castle walls. Operation Moon Rabbit is officially underway! But first, he’ll have to outwit a jealous eel, sneak past enchanted defenses, and survive Serina’s “help.” No pressure.
Can one small axolotl chase a big dream? Or will he end up as eel bait before he ever glimpses the stars?
Full of heart, humor, and underwater adventure, The Axolotl Familiar is perfect for fans of whimsical fantasy, magical creatures, and determined underdogs who refuse to give up on their dreams.

Serina is a mermaid, witch-in-training and daughter of the Wicked Sea Witch Melusine. Her familiar Axol is a talking Axolotl who can do magic. But there's more than meets the eye to this snarky familiar. Axol considers himself to be Serina's guardian rather than her housekeeper. High jinks ensue as Axol tries to keep his capricious Mistress out of trouble.
Serina and Axol arrive at MerMage Academy. Axol is shocked to discover Serina isn't the most popular girl in school, but instead the most feared girl in school. The most popular girl in school turns out to be the tomboyish Princess Raelyn, who has a strange obsession with human weapons. When the handsome, vain merman Jayce and his friends insult Axol, Serina gives the bullies their just deserts.
Axol attends Astronomy Class along with Serina and Princess Raelyn. Axol learns that there is a sea of stars above the land where the human dwell, and a moon that supposedly has a rabbit living there. Axol decides he will do whatever it takes to go and see the stars for himself. Operation Moon Rabbit is a go!
After Serina finally goes to bed, Axol puts his plan into action and sneaks into the treasure chamber. Unfortunately, he wakes up Morvo - a hangry eel who thinks Axol would make a nice midnight snack!
It's out of the frying pan and into the fire for Axol when he narrowly escape's being Morvo's dinner only to come face-to-face with a monster anglerfish who also wants to eat Axol! Luckily, Serina arrives...but will her help cost Axol his freedom?
