The Wild Card Kids: A Journey to Magic
Five kids find a mysterious deck of cards—and are plunged into a strange new world. Maverick, Piper, Zian, Zak, and Skye must now find their way back home. They carry with them the deck’s wild card, which provides both clues and challenges they must overcome on their journey. Along the way, the children have individual revelations, experience personal growth, and learn the true nature of empowerment.
Wild Card Kids teaches five important life skills, represented by the acronym MAGIC. The story is designed for discussions about each character’s personal journey. It is based on the concepts of creative instruction and engagement introduced by Wade and Hope King in their bestselling book, The Wild Card.
