About this listen

Full of thrilling action, heartwarming friendships, and unforgettable magic, this Middle-Grade fantasy novel is a must-listen for fans of Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, and Artemis Fowl.

Discover a spellbinding adventure where family, friendship, and courage collide with ancient magic and dark secrets.

Twelve-year-old Jack Mac Paidin thought losing his parents in a car crash nine years ago was the worst thing that could happen. Thankfully, his best friend Bart and Bart's father have given him some sense of normalcy—until he touches a mysterious golden telescope, and his whole world changes.

Suddenly thrust into a hidden world of magic, Jack learns the shocking truth: his parents' death was no accident, and he comes from an ancient line of sorcerers. As his own magical powers begin to emerge, a sinister organization known as The Dark Cabal will stop at nothing to control him. Even worse, they've already turned his long-lost brother Ethan to their side.

Now Jack must race against time, traveling through history and facing terrifying enemies, to reunite his scattered family and stop the Dark Cabal's sinister plans. But when the fate of both his family and the world hangs in the balance, can one twelve-year-old boy find the strength to become the hero he was meant to be?

Perfect for listeners aged 9-13 who love richly imagined worlds, found family, and pulse-pounding adventure. Parents will appreciate the themes of courage, friendship, and standing up for what's right.

Recommended for families and an independent middle-grade fantasy listen, Jack and the Magic Hat Maker is a nine-book series that will immerse listeners in a magical world that they won’t want to leave.

For ages 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and the young at heart.
