Would you be scared of it? Or would you embark on a journey to a land nobody thought existed? Well, here is what Verocity did on her 12th birthday!

Inside this amazing adventure book, you’ll discover an unbelievable story about a girl named Verocity who was living with her grandparents. Her grandpa passed away, but he left her a secret letter she was supposed to receive on her 12th birthday from Grandpa himself, but because he is no longer with them, her grandma had to do it, even though she didn’t want to.

What is written in that secret letter? Why did Grandpa pass it to Verocity on her 12th birthday? And why is it so important for her to read this letter and follow the instructions inside?

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 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.

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!
