Who says adults should have all the fun? After years of demand (from kids and grown-ups alike), we’re proud to finally introduce our Kids’ Short Story Advent Calendar—a fun and exciting way for younger readers to count down the days until Christmas.
The KSSAC is a deluxe box set of 25 individually bound booklets with cover art by South African illustrator Fran Labuschagne. It includes stories from some of the very best writers around, including:
Kenneth Oppel (Inkling)
Beatrix Potter (The Tale of Peter Rabbit)
Terry Pratchett (Discworld)
Jerry Spinelli (Maniac Magee)
Jacqueline Woodson (Brown Girl Dreaming)
and more!
As with all of our calendars, each booklet is sealed, meaning that you won’t know what’s inside until you crack the seal each morning, starting December 1. (To give you a hint, expect stories about spaceships, necklaces, best friends, creepy museums, scarecrows, fairies, and more.)
Plus, you know how much we love our special editions. The limited edition boxes (100 only) are printed on silver paper, hand-numbered, and signed by Labuschagne.
Recommended for ages 9+
