Why Every Child Should Read Kordan The Wizard

Tales of dragons, wizards, princesses is 1st book to offer kids instant digital access to original music

By Diane Lilli

Parents are forever complaining about their children being glued to their phones. But what if I told you that the next time your kids sit down to read a captivating, fantastical novel that they NEED their phone for something exceptional: original music? Enter the dragon!

Debut author David Nos is no stranger to the creative life. He’s been a successful musician and a business owner that designed original technology in his printing business for decades. But when the pandemic hit, David reached out to his writing partner Robert Agner, and told him that he was committed to fulfilling his most original lifetime dream yet: to write a fantasy book for children - and include original music that would, for the first time, be available with the click of a digital phone. Robert was thrilled.

Kordan The Wizard is a brilliant tale written for young children, with a fantastical plot filled with dragons, wizards, princesses, and romance.

The tale entertains children and parents alike and thoroughly elevates the printed word with something kids can’t resist. For the first time, with the click of their phone, via QR codes in print (or links in eBooks) they can listen to the original music David and Robert created uniquely about specific characters and plot lines in the story.

The ingenious addition of great original songs and music add excitement and surprise to the novel, and kids are scooping up books across the world. With only a month under its belt, Kordan The Wizard is at #6 in JUVENILE FICTION / Animals / Dragons, Unicorns & Mythical, in the US for hardcover, fantasy fiction. The book is now selling in France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Poland, and Australia.

David Nos said he is so excited that he is now writing a sequel, including two more books.

“It was always my dream to write a book of fantasy that all children can treasure and that all parents can appreciate,” he said. “I’ve been a musician for most of my life, and it was natural for me and my music partner, Bob, to write the songs and music for Kordan The Wizard. It was something we’d never seen before, with the QR codes, but to us, it was our natural calling to include music. So we did!"

The numerous book reviews coming in daily are not just posted by kids, but also by their parents, who appreciate the songs that offer an Americana, folksy sound and not the typical annoying songs you hear in animated films.

“We wrote music for all ages, and we were never going to sing anything we wouldn’t want to hear ourselves,” said Robert Agner. “The idea of Kordan The Wizard is the exciting story, set in mythical lands with wizards, giants, dragons, princesses, battles and love. It’s exciting, so we made sure to include music that fits characters at specific times in the novel. Children love great music too.” http://www.c-blast.com/Kordan/Edgewise-10-22-22.wav

David and Bob happily shared a QR code for readers of Eden, for their song Edgewise.

When asked if Hollywood has contacted them yet, David laughed. “We welcome inquires at any time,” he said.
