    The Fabric of Her Life

The only clue is a couture gown with a note from Princess Diana. The story also explores Meredith’s past in 1988, where she works for Diana and experiences love and self-discovery. This box includes four exclusive gifts that bring the novel’s story to life.

    They Were Music

    The September 2024 Adult Book Box “They Were Music” features The Lightning Bottles by Marissa Stapley, an exclusive OUABC edition. The story follows Jane Pyre, former member of the rock duo Lightning Bottles, who is now hated by the public after her bandmate Elijah Hart disappeared. Living in the German countryside, Jane’s life is turned upside down when a teenage fan claims Elijah is still alive and has been leaving secret messages for Jane. This sets the stage for a road trip to uncover the truth, exploring fame, love, and the 90s music scene.

    Mystery at the Manor

    The September 2024 Young Adult Book Box “Mystery at the Manor” features The Monstrous Kind by Lydia Gregovic. Merrick Darling, daughter of a Manor Lord, lives a privileged life in a world where a toxic fog has created monstrous creatures called Phantoms. When her father dies, Merrick returns to her childhood home, Norland House, only to find her sister Essie fearful and withdrawn due to recent Phantom attacks. As the fog closes in and safety falters, Merrick discovers that there are darker forces at play in her world. With her sister missing and trust hard to come by, Merrick must navigate a web of danger and deceit to find answers.

    Math & Fastballs

    The September 2024 Tween book box “Math & Fastballs” featuring Much Ado About Baseball by Rajani LaRocca combines math, baseball, and Shakespeare in the town of Comity. Twelve-year-old Trish is a math whiz and a skilled baseball player, but when she reconnects with Ben, a math prodigy she previously beat, their rivalry complicates their potential friendship. As their baseball team struggles to win, a new player, Rob, and his family’s unusual snacks seem to offer a solution. Meanwhile, Trish and Ben work together to solve a mysterious booklet of math puzzles, leading to success on the field—until they encounter a puzzle they can’t solve, with high stakes and tragic consequences.

    Great Deal!

    I’ve ordered quite a few discounted books & they have definitely been a great deal! As stated, a few had a crinkled corner or small scratch, but I didn’t even notice blemishes on most of them. I would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a brand new book at a great price!

    Perfect mommy and son bonding

    So I bought this from the shop after seeing what the gifts are because my toddler is obsessed with bugs and everything included was so adorable and he’s been playing with it for a week now and still keeps him occupied for hours. He’s a bit young, but I read the book out loud to him while he plays and he’s almost 3, but already asks questions about what he hears and I just absolutely love sharing my love of reading with him and hope he’ll enjoy these boxes on his own when he’s a bit older! Until then I’ll keep him engaged for as long as he lets me and these middle grade boxes really help with that!
