A Beautiful Adventure About Family and Magic

What I loved most about The Magical 12th Birthday is how it blended a fun, magical adventure with a touching story about family. The mystery of Verocity’s grandpa’s letter adds a lot of suspense, and the magical world she explores feels so real. My 8-year-old daughter loved Verocity’s bravery and determination. This book is perfect for young readers and offers a great escape into a land full of wonders.

An Unforgettable 12th Birthday

What better way to celebrate a birthday than with a magical quest? This audiobook had everything my kids love – mystery, fantasy, and strong family connections. Verocity’s courage and curiosity are admirable, and Brandon Essig’s narration made the adventure even more special.

A great adventure story!

This felt like a kind of classic adventure story that every kid (preteens especially) can enjoy. It's clearly well set up for that particular age group and that transition phase between childhood and adulthood - full of characters who are both trying to understand the world around them and needing to venture forth on their own. Family and friends who support and believe in the lead character, but also a story about her finding her own path. The ending kind of suggests there may be more to come, and I certainly hope there will at least be a sequel. This would make a great series!
