We have given LitJoyCrate and OwlCrateJr. test runs and I can honesty say we have loved both of them! I am a huge fan of helping bridge that Middle Grade gap and what can feel like an awkward stage, into lifelong readers.

Middle grade readers are an important group of kids who are often forgotten or overlooked. However, these young kids have so many amazing book options and it’s so important to help them find what interests them.

One of the ways to keep these middle grade readers excited about reading is through book boxes! These subscriptions arrive at your doorstep with not only books, but also fun bookish items that relate to the book. The books come alive with these fun additions. Plus, by having books arrive it exposes your kids to books they may not ever pick up.

“I like getting these book boxes because you not only get a book, but you get fun trinkets that go with the book. It makes it feel like you have actually gotten items from inside the story.” –Jackson age 10

“It’s exciting to have a box show up and you know you are just inches from books picked for your reading level with fun themes.” –Jackson age 10

“What kid doesn’t like to get mail?!! Plus, It’s mail that is entertaining for a looooooong time.” –Jackson age 10

Let me tell you a little about each of these boxes.

The other thing I love about these boxes is they can be cancelled at any time or ordered one at a time. They also, make for a great summer reading motivator!
