    QUESTIONS FROM GROWN-UPS

    Everything to know before your child suits up

    The Defender is a personalized six-book superhero series for children ages 3 to 8.

    Upload one clear photo and add your child's name and a few details. Their face, name and hero look appear throughout the story, making your child The Defender at the center of the adventure.

    The series is designed for children ages 3 to 8. Younger children can enjoy it as a read-aloud, while older children can revisit the superhero choices and family conversations on their own.

    Choose a Defender book your family wants first. That personalized hardcover ships first, then another Defender book follows each month at subscriber pricing until all six are collected.

    The subscription card above shows the current price in your market. Each of the six books uses subscriber pricing, saving 58% versus the regular price.

    Yes. The complete-set card above shows the current price in your market. Choose it to receive all six personalized hardcover adventures together without starting a subscription.

    No. The Beginning is a natural introduction, but every book stands on its own. Start with the villain that matches the challenge your family is working through right now.

    The Defender track is complete after book six. Your Magic Story subscription continues with more personalized stories until you cancel, so cancel after the collection or keep the monthly reading ritual going.

    Across the six adventures, children see themselves handle confidence, courage, big feelings, screen balance, sharing, responsibility and trying new foods through concrete superhero choices.
