Description
Middle school is hard enough without wondering if you have magical powers hiding somewhere inside you. Zach embarks on a quest to discover his hidden abilities while navigating the wild world of public school. This first book in a trilogy comes from social media star Zach King and includes access to a downloadable app that brings the story to life.
Quick Summary
If your kid loves Zach King's videos, they'll be thrilled to read his book and honestly, even kids who have no idea who he is will get a kick out of this story. Zach is a middle schooler who desperately wants magical powers like his family seems to have, but so far he's just not magical at all, which makes for some genuinely funny mishaps at school and at home. The book hits that sweet spot of being short and fast-paced enough to keep reluctant readers turning pages, while still having enough heart to remind kids that being yourself matters more than having special abilities. It's perfect for grades 4-6, especially kids who like humor, light fantasy, or stories about navigating the awkwardness of middle school. Parents will appreciate that it's wholesome and positive, with nothing iffy just a kid trying to figure out where he fits in while dealing with typical school drama and goofy magic mishaps. If your kid enjoys books like Diary of a Wimpy Kid or the 39 Clues series, this makes a great next read.
