Owl Crate Jr Unboxing!

I'm excited to share my very first Owl Crate Jr box with you!!

I've subscribed to the original Owl Crate in the past and loved it, but my growing love of middle grade novels made me switch to Owl Crate Jr. Let me show you what I got!

The theme this month is time travel!

I've never heard of Time Sight before, but it sounds like an intriguing read! Here's the official blurb:

Castles, battles, the ancient Scottish Highlands, and a boy who is determined to bring everyone safely home combine in this absorbing middle grade time-travel adventure. 

Will’s mother is in danger overseas, and his father must find her, so Will and his little brother are packed off to relatives in Scotland. Will feels useless. He can’t save his mother. He can’t help his father. And when he tries to amuse his brother on the plane ride, he can’t even locate the images in Jamie’s book—the hidden pictures that everyone else can see. Once at the family’s ancestral castle, though, Will tries again. And as he delicately adjusts his focus, suddenly his eyes tune in to a different visual frequency—the past. 

Looking back five hundred years is interesting . . . at first. But when Jamie impulsively leaps through the opening in time, Will and his cousin Nan must follow, into a past so dangerous that Will isn’t sure how he will get everyone safely home.

I received a dinosaur pencil case and a cute time traveler patch. 

Plus a fun (and educational!) card game that my stepson and I can't wait to play. 

Plus two pins! 

I was a little worried that some of the literary swag might be geared toward younger audiences, and it's pretty much the case with this box. Luckily, my stepson is an avid middle grade reader and exactly the right age to enjoy the card game, pencil case, and patch. We're also looking forward to discussing the book. 

What did you think of this month's Owl Crate Jr?
