Set Sail for a Novel Adventure

Crate Expectations is your child's personal book-club-in-a-box!

Yes, you read that right.  An actual book club!  For kids ages 8-12!

We believe that reading isn't just about the book but about the ADVENTURE!  A book club is a great way to share that adventure -- either as a family or at a monthly book club meeting with friends.  Our crates are designed to build confidence, connection, and imagination!

Each month, subscribers will receive :

  • A high-quality book for young readers age 8-12
  • Educational (and FUN) games or toys, specially curated to pair with the book
  • A bookish snack to enjoy while reading

PLUS our Book Club ADVENTURE GUIDE featuring: 

  • An EXCLUSIVE author interview
  • A book-related STEM activity and supplies
  • Recipe and menu ideas inspired from the book
  • Book club discussion questions
  • Recommendations for further reading

We know how important reading is. We also know how busy life as a parent is. That's why our crates include EVERYTHING you need! 

All you have to do is open the box and unlock your imagination!
