I purchased this book box the week before Christmas for a gift for my 11 yr old daughter. I emailed to ask if it could be mailed early, and the seller wrote me back within the hour to say she could send a box that afternoon. It arrived in time for Christmas, and my daughter LOVED everything inside! A huge thanks for a great product and great customer service!

Great choice for 12 year old

My 12 year old daughter wanted a book box subscription, but so many options available on the market have adult content books that I cannot trust for her age. I was worried that this item may be too "baby" for her, but the first box was a big hit! One good sized chapter book with the main character also a 12 year old girl (perfect selection!,) and some craft/game/personal supplies- washi tape, a custom deck of cards with cool illustrations, a very cool metal book mark, water bottle carrier, scented lip balm. There may have been another item or two in there. I am satisfied with my choice, and especially happy that I don't need to pre-read the book to ensure it is appropriate!!!

Cautious of Book Content

I purchased this box for my 12 year old granddaughter. The first box was great--she loved it, especially the books. I was very disappointed in the second box as we are a christian family and it came with a book that does not align with our religious beliefs regarding same sex attractions.
I would kindly recommend that you alert the customers regarding sexual book content, especially in consideration of this age group and the fact that previewing and censoring is not available prior purchasing or gifting. Or perhaps it would be best to just not include books that are not appropriate for everyone. I am sorry for the low rating as it is a well put together box, but it is no longer for us which the rating indicates.

Hi Kathy,
Thanks for taking the time to leave this honest review. While we try to choose books every month that will suit all subscribers, we know that sometimes we can not please everyone. We do however offer a book replacement when we totally miss the mark. If you'd like to reach out personally via email, we'd be happy to replace the book with something that your granddaughter would enjoy more.
Thanks for supporting my daughter's small business, and we look forward to hearing from you shortly.

My 9 year old has a hard time finding appropriate books that match her interest but also her reading level. This box solves that problem! I love that I can feel comfortable letting her read these solo without me reviewing too much or reading with her. Also love that there are usually 2 books in a box, which is a great value, but also guarantees she will love at least one book so the box doesn’t end up feeling like a waste if one isn’t a hit. They also pick some awesome goodies and we’ve discovered some fun new places to shop small through the products! Jillian is very in tune with the tween audience and does a fantastic job with these boxes!

Given as Christmas and Valentine's Day gifts, these were a huge hit with my great-nieces, ages 8 & 10. The items selected were on target for both of them and I could tell were chosen carefully to make the most bang. Thank you!

beTWEEN the Bookends Subscription!!!

I purchased this subscription for my 10 year old twin nieces. It was a wonderful surprise for them to get something in the mail, and they have just started to truly enjoy reading. I wanted to encourage them to continue and with them recently switching to home schooling because of Covid, having something special come in the mail was a great mood booster for them. They loved the books and had a blast with the extra tween products. Overall a great experience for them and I will definately keep this going for them.

I purchased this subscription for my Granddaughter that lives far from me. She has received two boxes so far and loved each one, and the best part is that she thinks of me whenever she gets one.

Boxes are great. My 10 year old loves them. The books, however, seem a bit too simple for the age range. I’d love if we could choose vegan items, as many have had beeswax or honey in them. Everything is adorable, though, and daughter loves it even if it is on the easier side.

Presented as a gift to my 11-year-old niece, the beTWEEN the Bookends monthly subscription has proven its success. There is a regular arrival of positive feedback soon after delivery, and hearing her excitement about a number of the contents has provided not only satisfaction with accomplishing the purchase of a decent gift, but also joy that my niece knows her uncle loves her. Discussing the contents of each delivery has become quite the conversation starter as well. Thanks!

Best Book Box EVER

Vashti T.
One of the absolute best gift ideas for young readers or for those who want to encourage the love of reading. These boxes have delightful lifestyle items and fun themes every month, with mini boxes and single purchase options as well. There’s something for everyone and the box builders clearly put a lot of time and effort into creating the whole effect! Love it and totally recommend!

I am not sure. I have yet to receive my order from December. I’m hoping we will get it soon. Only reason I rated it was because I had to in order to write a review. I’m hoping we get the package soon.

Hi Brooke!
Thanks for taking the time to reach out. I am so sorry you are still waiting on your December box! Unfortunately the USPS has been experiencing significant delays. I will be checking into this order, and emailing you directly.
Thanks again!

Not bad but pen broke first use
Jan 11, 2021
Suzanne T.
We let the box warm up inside prior to opening. As soon as she tried to use the pen, the bulb broke and leaked everywhere. As a 13 year old, for the most part she enjoyed most of the items in the box. I’m not really sure how the books tied into a winter January box. The coding book should have come in Dec when there was the hour of code. Overall she enjoys receiving these.

Hi Suzanne,
Thanks so much for taking the time out to review our box! We are so sorry about the pen breaking, and have made a note to include a new one in your next shipment. As for the book choices, January's theme was "girl power" and we wanted to show in the books chosen that girls can do anything! What a great idea for the future to include coding books in December to coincide with the hour of code. If you ever have questions regarding future boxes, feel free to reach out directly at any time!
