The Prime Book Box for Kids is now $19.99, down from the $22.99 it launched at. For those of you that like percentages instead, that means you’re saving 40% off the cover prices instead of just 35%.
The Prime What For What Now?
What’s In The Box?
Lucky Broken Girl by Ruth Behar is based on the author’s own experiences of growing up a Cuban-Jewish immigrant and trying to adjust to her new home in New York City in the ’60s. The main character, Ruthie, is involved in a car crash that she barely survives and has to be in a body cast for nearly a year. It’s a poignant story that examines relationships and friendships in unexpected ways. My daughter loved it. I don’t think she put it down more than a few moments from the second she cracked the cover. More importantly, she never would have picked it up on her own.
Is It Worth It?
I was pleased to see that the titles included in the Prime Book Box for Kids are picked, not just because they sold a lot of copies, but because they challenge expectations. Literature can broaden our horizons and provide us with perspectives we would never have considered on our own. The Prime Book Box for Kids gives readers more than just entertainment, but stories that they can talk about and explore more with their parents. It reinforces the best things about reading. I’m signing my daughter up for a subscription this holiday season, and am looking forward to seeing what else she’ll discover.
