  Every book needs a bookmark. These will fit the theme of the main book or box as a whole.

My Review

As a Christian mom & reader I think this book box is amazing. For the month of September I got Brave Ollie Possum By Ethan Nicolle – a gorgeous 384 page hardcover, Anxious For Nothing – a beautiful, 240 page paperback, a possum bookmark and questions to start a conversation about the book. I appreciate the diversity of the book selection. I love that each month there is a devotional book – help your pre-teen explore their Faith. I’m also a huge fantasy fiction lover so I personally find the main book phenomenal. You can get all of this delivered to your door at an affordable price. I personally look forward to getting my book subscription each month, I know that pre-teens will be just as thrilled.

September’s Book Picks

Brave Ollie Possum

By Ethan Nicolle

Middle Grade Fiction

384 Pages

Ages 8-12

‎Canonball Books

Ollie must learn to be brave or end up a bowl of soup.

Ollie Mackerelli is determined to face his fear of the dark once and for all, but he gets more than he bargained for when his therapist turns out to be an actual monster. To make it even worse, Ollie is transformed from a boy to a possum and locked in a cage.

With no way to call for help, Ollie must learn to be brave (with the help of some furry friends) or he will be the main course.

Adventurous, imaginative, and fantastically illustrated, Brave Ollie Possum is the debut children’s story from author and screenwriter Ethan Nicolle.

About Rooted Book Box

We were looking for ways to get more Faith based books in the hands of our children that love to read. While there were a lot of great subscription book options out there, none of them seemed to point to the themes and values we want echoed most in our home. While searching for options I became frustrated but figured that I couldn’t be the only parent that felt this way. So here we are! Reading a bunch of books so that you as parents and help encourage and support your young readers.
