Summer 2025 Book Box

The items in the Summer Book Box have finally been revealed!

(With the exception of the title, we don't announce the items in the box until after shipping day. We like our subscribers to be surprised and delighted as they open each item and discover how it relates to the book.)

The Summer Book

We are so pleased to announce our Summer Book Box title selection is The Moffats by Eleanor Estes.

This book introduces us to the Moffat family: four siblings, their mother, plus Catherine-the-Cat. The Moffats have fallen on hard times, but that doesn't stop them from having adventures and new experiences. Published in 1941, it's a story of a family, with episodic chapters filled with humor and fun. 

Summer is the perfect time for the nostalgia of reading a middle grade novel during the long summer days.
