Zach King: My Magical Life

[[VIDEOID:9fd191c96a7693db53cacc03eea427e]] My 9-year-old daughter loved the book. She loves to read, but I could see how it would incentivize a reluctant reader. We love AR! She has to like this stuff because her mom is an AI, AR and VR nerd! Awesome Job. Go get one for every kid you know and that Christmas shopping list just got smaller!

Brilliantly inovative!! DYSLEXIC child, fussy reader must have! The pages literally come to life when you download the app. My boys were fighting over this. I'm buying more as gifts, for school library, and sharing with Decoding Dyslexia! So cool that your child can enjoy Zach's videos and then be super excited to read about his life. Kudos Zach!! Exceeded our expectations.

Where do you begin with such an amazing book? All the way down to the actual book exterior haveing the same animation opportunity as the sleeve. The story line is very engaging. Your child will not be able to put it down. :). TWO THUMBS UP! I ordered 3 to get a head start on my Christmas list, but I think I will have to order more now that I have seen what it's all about.

Any Zach King fan will love this book! There's a ton of throwbacks to old videos, plus the story features several of Zach's real-life friends including Aaron and Rachel. Kids will relate to the struggle to fit in at school. Lots of mischief happens, but in the end the book has a great message that "you don't have to be cruel to be cool". Tricia, the villain, really is cruel and manipulative, providing a formidable opponent to the fun-loving main characters. Recommended for readers of all ages!

My son is severely dyslexic and struggles with reading, because of this, his desire to read is pretty low. However, he really enjoys the YouTube channels of a few folks and Zach King is one of them. Now that they are making a crossover into books, and Zach has made it so creative with animated pictures via the app and a smart phone, I am hoping my son will find the joy in reading that I have always enjoyed. We just started reading the book together and so far, it seems well written and the story is developing well.

The app that goes with this book is incredible! My kid loves it and he never pays attention to the books I buy for him. The characters and scenes truly come to life. The book itself and on it's own is a wonderful and exciting read but the app keeps this young reader engaged in a way I have never seen before! I can't wait for the next one.

First of all this book looks amazing! The illustrations are so wonderful and I absolutely love the app that comes with it. The app brings all of the pictures alive. Which really just embodies what Zach King does. He is an illusion magician. it's just so cool. I literally just sat down to start reading it so I will try to make another review Once I'm done reading the book, but so far I am absolutely loving it and I think it's really cool that once you take the book cover off the book still has all the Illustrated cover and Illustrated back. I am so proud of you Zach. Bravo Bravo 💞💙💞👏👏👏

Just finished reading. The story is engaging and fun- although I wished for more complexity in the characters (one girl seemed purely evil). But I guess this doesn’t matter so much for a children’s book. The plot alludes to some tricks that King did in his videos, which adds an interesting layer, a back story to what we all see as special effects. The AR app on the other hand, is SO COOL!! The effects are so well made that they literally pop right out of the book pages. The digital images almost perfectly align with the actual pages, and you can interact with the animated images. The depth effect and 3D objects are so realistic that I couldn’t stop turning the book and look at them from different angles. Bravo!! Ps. The digital art for the ice sculpture is too beautiful- it even shows the warped text “behind” it!

Zach King has done it again! He has delighted families with his videos and "magic" for years and now has brought it to book form! Each page makes you want more, entertainment throughout. Such fun as you read the comics and use the free app for pictures to come alive. The story has a precious lesson too. Well done Zach! Great gift for any child in your life!

I tried out the free app on the book and it's fun. I'm going to start reading it at work so excited.
