Review

Everyone in Zach King's family has a magical power, but Zach has not found his yet. He has been home schooled. When his parents decide to send him to public school, he fears he will not get magical powers. At school, he learns about friends, what it is like to be normal, and about bullying. It is told with humor, and filled with full color illustrations and in some places graphic novel like places. Kids will probably be attracted by the cover illustration and pick up this book. The author is "one of the hottest names in digital media" and has included an app to accompany this book.

Overall Book Score: good
