Best of the Rest
- Bookabees – A book box for young readers
Based on your child’s age and interests, they can receive a personalised book box each month with fresh reading material and some related activities. However, Bookabees is aimed at encouraging reading in pre-school through to 11 year olds, so the following two options are better suited to teens:
- Happily Ever After – Teen book subscription box
Answering a few questions when signing up means that these boxes are tailored to the reader’s preferences. For an added treat, this young adult monthly book box also includes a couple of extra gifts such as a chocolate bar, pamper gift and bookmark.

- Graphic Novel Station – for a different genre of books
If comics, rather than novels, are your teen’s preferred reading material, this subscription box could be more appealing. Filled with stunning illustrations, the new and pre-loved books in these boxes are harder to come by in the local library. They are packaged with a monthly treat and information on the authors.
