Dylan and the Magic Stick by Brandon Smith <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Author Brandon Smith introduces Dylan and the Magic Stick, the debut children’s book from VoarEnt, marking the beginning of an expanding family entertainment and publishing platform. The initiative aims to develop original children’s stories and characters across books, animation, YouTube Kids, games, and other digital entertainment formats.<\/div>\n

UNITED STATES – August 28, 2026 – <\/strong>Author Brandon Smith<\/strong> today presents Dylan and the Magic Stick<\/strong>, the debut release from VoarEnt<\/strong>, an emerging entertainment and publishing brand he is building around original family storytelling. The book is the first title in a growing collection of children’s books and entertainment properties the platform is developing for audiences across multiple formats.<\/p>\n

The book is more than a standalone release. It introduces VoarEnt’s<\/strong> broader vision of turning original stories and characters into experiences children can read, watch, and eventually interact with across books, animated productions, digital media, and games. Dylan and the Magic Stick<\/strong> is the first step in what the company describes as an expanding library of original children’s intellectual property under the VoarEnt<\/strong> and Voar Kids<\/strong> brands.<\/p>\n

Dylan and the Magic Stick<\/strong> follows Dylan, an imaginative and energetic boy who discovers an odd, greenish blue stick while playing outside and becomes convinced it holds magical powers. As Dylan’s imagination transforms the stick into a tool capable of turning the world around him into something new, he learns about creativity, resilience, and the wonder of everyday adventure, even after a setback threatens to end the fun. Written by Brandon Smith<\/strong>, the story is dedicated to “every child who believes in the magic of imagination.”<\/p>\n

VoarEnt<\/strong> is building its children’s publishing catalog around a long term book to entertainment strategy. Original stories will launch in print and digital formats, with select characters, worlds, and narratives designed to evolve into animated movies, YouTube Kids<\/strong> programming, games, and other digital experiences.<\/p>\n

As part of that strategy, the company is developing a dedicated Voar Kids<\/strong> YouTube presence, with plans to bring visual entertainment inspired by its growing collection of published stories to children and families. Additional original children’s books are already planned as the library expands.<\/p>\n

“Dylan and the Magic Stick<\/strong> is more than the beginning of a new book series. It is the beginning of a much bigger vision,” said Brandon Smith<\/strong>, author of Dylan and the Magic Stick<\/strong> and creative lead at VoarEnt<\/strong>. “We want to create stories that children can read, watch, and experience, taking them from the pages of a book into animation, movies, and digital entertainment. Dylan is the first step in building that world.”<\/p>\n

The strategy reflects the changing ways children and families discover entertainment. While books remain the foundation of VoarEnt’s<\/strong> storytelling, the company’s broader objective is to create recognizable characters and worlds that extend naturally into visual and interactive media. A child might first meet a character in a book and later encounter that same world through animation, video, or games.<\/p>\n

VoarEnt<\/strong> is initially focusing on audiences in the United States and Canada, with the United Kingdom identified as an additional priority as distribution expands. The company’s primary audiences include parents, educators, librarians, young readers, and families interested in children’s books, animation, and digital entertainment.<\/p>\n

Dylan and the Magic Stick<\/strong> follows VoarEnt’s<\/strong> development of multiple original publishing, entertainment, and gaming concepts. The company’s long term plans include:<\/p>\n

• Additional original children’s book releases<\/p>\n

• Animated adaptations inspired by published stories<\/p>\n

• Family friendly content through Voar Kids<\/strong> on YouTube<\/p>\n

• Original characters and entertainment properties across multiple media formats<\/p>\n

• Games and interactive entertainment<\/p>\n

• Future film and animation projects<\/p>\n

• Expanded national and international distribution<\/p>\n

Rather than treating each title as an isolated release, VoarEnt<\/strong> intends to build a growing library of original intellectual property that continually introduces children and families to new characters, adventures, and imaginative worlds.<\/p>\n

Dylan and the Magic Stick<\/strong> serves as both a publishing milestone and the foundation of a broader creative initiative. As new books, animated content, and digital projects are introduced, VoarEnt<\/strong> hopes families will continue following its story universe and discover new ways to experience it.<\/p>\n

Parents and families can discover Dylan and the Magic Stick<\/strong>, follow VoarEnt<\/strong> for upcoming releases, and subscribe to Voar Kids<\/strong> on YouTube for future animated and family entertainment content.<\/p>\n
