The Adult Hint

We are so excited to present our June Adult hint - Phone Down, Heart Open!📱❤️

From the bestselling author of Meet Me in the Margins comes an insightful tale that inspires personal growth and learning to enjoy things in the moment.

With her millions of followers, she is adored around the world. But when an app partnership goes very, very wrong, she suddenly finds herself shunned from the community that not only fed her soul all these years but paid her bills. When her uncle offers her a position on his staff at a small national park in Montana to get away from the city, she hesitantly accepts the opportunity.

What she doesn’t realize is that as their new social media strategist her goal is to save the park by boosting their annual number of visitors through fun posts and social media engagement. Unfortunately, at least one of her new colleagues thinks social media is the root of everything that’s wrong with the world and makes her goals that much harder to reach.

Written with the author's signature wit and charm, this story will melt readers’ hearts while reminding us to put down our phones and live life to the fullest. A story that may just inspire you to change your life, this book will be paired with four adorable gifts that will bring the best moments right into the palms of your hands.

The Middle Grade Theme

We are so excited to share our June Middle Grade theme, Journey of the Wolf! 🐺


This month's featured novel is The Wolf of Cape Fen by debut author, Juliana Brandt!

For as long as anyone can remember, Baron Dire has haunted Cape Fen come winter, striking magical bargains and demanding unjust payment in return. The Serling sisters know better than to bargain, lest they find themselves hunted by the Baron’s companion, the Wolf.

Then the Wolf attacks Eliza's sister Winnie. The Wolf only attacks those who owe the Baron Dire, and Winnie would never bargain, so that must mean that someone has struck a deal with Winnie as the price. Eliza embarks on a journey to save her sister and discovers a complicated web of bargains that cross all of Cape Fen. If Eliza can learn the truth, she might be able to protect her sister, but the truth behind the bargain could put her own life in danger.

An exciting adventure full of mystery and magic, this box will include some incredible gifts that will bring this great children's book to life!

On sale now through June 4th (or until we sell out!) this box is not one to be missed! Boxes are expected to ship in early June.
