Very great as it has a lot of cool stuff in side! (i wish i had magic snapbacks)

The book Zach King: My Magical Life is written by Zach King who is a 26 year old magician and filmmaker. In this book Zach King is an 11 year old boy who comes from a family that has generations of magical powers. Each member of the King family finds their own magical object when they are children, which they use throughout their lives to channel their magical powers. Sadly Zach has not discovered his magical object and is the oldest in the history of the King family to not find their object. This is upsetting to Zach and his family as they wonder if he has been skipped and will be the only King without magical powers. Zach has been homeschooled all this life with his sister, Sophie but his parents decide to send him to a public middle school so that he can learn to be a non-magical kid in case he never finds his magical object. At school Zach meets his new best friend Aaron and the mean girl Tricia. We also get to know Rachel a little bit as well as the principal and custodian. Throughout the book Zach has to adjust to middle school, find new friendships, deal with the school bully and go in search of finding his magic object. I really liked that this book was so entertaining and funny and I couldn't wait to find out what was going to happen next. An awesome addition to reading this book is that you can download the My Magical Life app and use it to scan the illustrated pages and watch them come to life! I wished the book would have been longer because I wanted to know what adventure Zach and Aaron went on next and if Zach continues to figure out his magical powers.I would recommend this book to kids 5th grade - 8th grade. I would recommend this book for these grades because it has a middle school setting and deals with all of real-life middle school ups and downs but with a magic twist. I cannot wait for Zach King's second book to come out so that I can find out what happens in Zach, Aaron and Tricia's lives.

So much fun while reading this book. It’s so creative that my phone was always ready with its apps. And I can’t wait for the second book to come out and also I want to confirm if my guess about Zach’s magical item is correct!

Great 👍I am not a big reader and did not stop reading this.I love zac h king as a YouTuber and also love him as a writer.😀

Zach's family is certainly not normal. His father can stop time, his sister can make herself invisible and his mother can change objects. Zach and his sister are homeschooled so they can keep the family's magic secret and also to give them time to practise their magic. The only problem is that they all have a magical object except Zach. They use the objects to channel their magic. Zach is eleven and still has not found his. Could he have been skipped? When Zach's grandad puts up on a magic show, Zach tries to pretend that he can do magic, but it's a disaster and his parents decide to send him to mainstream school. He encounters the school bully on his first day, but also makes a good friend n Aaron. Zach somehow magically ends up in a vending machine and then he finally finds his magical object, which is a pair of snap backs. Aaron and Zach start a blog about his magical feats and get loads of followers. Some of them land the two boys in lots of trouble and then there is a crazy run in with an alligator. He does save Rachel though, who he really likes. Zach discovers he has more magic and I really want to read the next book to find out what happens to him and his friends. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes books about magic and who want a really good laugh. Many thanks to Lovereading4kids for sending me this book in exchange for an honest review.

Pretty good book, great intro to the series.

I had my eight-year-old read this book to me for a bedtime story. The book overall was a fantastic, age-appropriate read. He was engaged the entire time, always wanting to keep reading so he could learn what would happen next.

YAY for innovative books like this that are truly perfect for the reluctant reader. Not only do you get your standard chapter book, with a story that can hold its own, BUT then the app shows up and just adds so much more that you can keep going back to. When it comes to the story itself - this is about a boy named (what else) Zach King who was born into a family of magicians. His little sister can turn invisible, his dad can stop time, and his mom can tranform objects. Zach is about to hit middle school age, and has shown no signs of magical abilities, so his parents decide to put him in public school. Of course, once he gets there, there's a chance he might be magical after all, and now he has to try and control that while also being a regular kid!Like I said, the story can stand on its own even without the app . . . but my favorite part was definitely how well the app went along with the book. There were lots of fun features to find/play around with. My favorite was the comic book pages; you could search for hidden images through the app, and when you found them you gained trophies that filled up a trophy box by the end of the book. This is truly like a game and a book all in one and I think the series is really set to be a game changer for other middle grade books that want to incorporate technology.

Zach King's family has magical powers - except, perhaps for Zach. He is now 11 but still hasn't found the magical object that will let him unlock his magic. His parents worry that perhaps the magic has 'skipped' him so decided to send him to a regular school. On his very first day he ends up inside a snack vending machine - maybe he is magical after all. But he finds that he can't repeat the trick so has to go back to school only to find he is now a YouTube sensation thanks to his new friend Aaron. Whilst doing detention Zach finally finds his true magical objects but rather than tell his parents, Zach decides to use them to get even with the school bully.Written by a professional magician, this is the first book in a new series that follows the adventures of Zach King. This story is full of humour and crazy exploits but also includes real life issues such as bullying, friendship and attraction to the opposite sex. Colourful full page illustrations and occasional comic book sequences further enhance the story and there is also an app available that turns the illustrations into 3D animated mini movies. A real movie is also in the pipeline. This title will probably appeal to fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Timmy Failure.Reviewed by Penny Guy (Bookrapt)

I love reading books that my kids are reading. It creates so many fun conversations. My thirteen-year old son just finished this one and we had a lot of fun talking about it.

GOOD

Zach King, een jongen uit een magische familie, maar hij heeft zelf nog geen magie of een magisch object.Ik zag dit boekje bij een van mijn bibliotheken en ik vond het er superleuk uit zien, dus hij moest mee. En nu ik het heb gelezen moet ik zeggen dat het zeker een heerlijk boek was om te lezen, ook al had ik wel een paar dingen die ik jammer vond.En laat ik daar dan maar mee beginnen. Ten eerste het feit dat de ouders blijkbaar niet verder kijken dan het eigen huis voor magische objecten. Of in ieder geval zou kwam het wel over. En kom op zeg, hoe groot is nou de kans dat je een magisch object toevallig in huis hebt? En zou je niet na 1 jaar al door de objecten zijn? Waarom ga je niet de wereld rond en zoek je overal? Tricia was het grootste probleem van het boek. Ik word echt doodmoe van deze trope in boeken. Kunnen we niet gewoon eens een boek hebben zonder gemene krengen van verdoemenis? Ik lees boeken voornamelijk om even weg te komen van de wereld en dan heb ik dus geen zin in steeds weer een kreng tegen te komen. Er moet toch een andere manier zijn om spanning in een boek te gooien? Dus ja, Tricia? Die mag van mij een eind ophoepelen, wat een sneu type was dat zeg. Ik was wel blij dat ze aan het einde wat van haar populariteit is verloren, maar dan nog lijkt het er op dat ze niks heeft geleerd, en dan is ze ook nog eens ondankbaar. Bah, hopelijk komt ze niet zoveel voor in het volgende boek.Ik vond Zach wel een aardige jongen, maar ik vond het wel jammer dat hij niet ietsje beter zijn best deed om zijn geheim te bewaren. Dat hij gewoon volop voor de videos ging en ook blijkbaar niet meer zoveel gaf of mensen het nou zagen of niet. Maar ik was wel blij dat hij een object (of moet ik zeggen 2) objecten heeft gevonden die hem helpen. En ik was blij dat hij Aaron als vriend heeft, en hij was ook zo aardig tegen hem en probeerde hem altijd te helpen. Ook was hij lief tegen zijn zusje (waar ik heel blij mee was want tja je ziet vaak dat broers/zussen vechten). Plus hij was heel dapper aan het einde, niet veel mensen zullen doen wat hij daar deed. Hopelijk komen we er ook achter waarom Zach soms magie kan gebruiken zonder objecten. Rachel en Zach? Wel, ik hoop dat die twee verkering krijgen, wat zijn die twee leuk samen. Rachel was zeker ook een favoriet. Wat een stoere meid is dat zeg. Karate, rodeo, en dan is er nog wat ze deed aan het einde. Geweldig! Zach's zusje, tja, ik moest wel lachen dat ze altijd en overal er was. Wat een stalker. :P Maar ik vond het wel lief dat ze het deed voor haar broer, dat ze gewoon zeker wilde weten dat alles goed ging.Ik vond het zeker leuk dat er magie bestaat in de wereld van het boek, en dat er dus hele families zijn die allemaal geweldige dingen kunnen doen. Ik zou ook wel een tas willen hebben die oneindig is. Makkelijk om allemaal boeken mee te kunnen nemen. En als ik dan eens op vakantie ga kan ik gewoon een berg kleding meenemen. Makkeeeeelijk! Maar ook onzichtbaarheid lijkt me cool. Het boek is voornamelijk tekst, maar er zijn ook pagina's met illustraties, en stukken strips bij. En dat maakt het boek nog leuker om te lezen. Dus ja, als Tricia niet in het boek was dan zou ik het een 4.5 hebben gegeven, maar nu krijgt het boek maar 3.5 sterretjes. Review first posted at https://twirlingbookprincess.com/

Bailey RundquistZach King My Magical LifeZack King’s, Magical Life, was really good. For a long time, I hated reading. After I read the first chapter, I fell in love with this book. Even though I have read this book a 100 times, I still get this heart warming feeling when I read it. Zack’s family is gifted with magical abilities but, this magic only works with a magic object, otherwise the magical abilities do not work. Zach is 11 years old in the book and has not found his magical object yet. His parents decide to have him go to regular school. Zack does not know what to expect in his first year of middle school so, it is really funny to read about his experiences. I enjoyed the characters in this book. Arron, Rachel and Tricia added to the fun in the book. I can relate to Zach,because I am 11 years old and I just started middle school too. I think other kids my age would like Magical Life too, I highly recommend this book.
