About this author

Andrew Jacobson is the co-author of The Familiars.
I'm a Wisconsin transplant living in Los Angeles with my wife and cavalier king charles spaniel, Elvis. Pop culture junkie. Sports fan. Grew up on healthy diet of Star Wars and Amblin movies. Now I'm living the dream, creating stories that I would have loved as a kid. My first novel, The Familiars, comes out September 7th from HarperChildrens. The film rights have been optioned by Sony Animation and Sam Raimi (director of Spider-Man).


Please watch the brand new Book Trailer for "The Familiars" and the Meet Adam and Andrew video on Awesome Adventures. Here's the link!

In the homestretch - curious to see how it all ends - but so far so good. I HIGHLY recommend The Hunger Games and Catching Fire. Hoping this will be a satisfying conclusion. Haven't LOVED it up to now.
