✨ Once On a Time by A.A. Milne
A whimsical, utterly delightful fairy tale that’s equal parts clever, quirky, and hilarious. This isn’t your average prince-and-princess story; it’s a playful, tongue-in-cheek adventure that proves Milne’s brilliance goes far beyond the Hundred Acre Wood. Our top read-aloud recommendation for multiple age groups.
✨ Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen
A sparkling satire of gothic novels, Northanger Abbey features a charming heroine who’s read a little too much fiction for her own good. We’re pleased to offer this story in a dyslexia-friendly edition, with specially selected fonts and generous white spaces to make reading easier and more enjoyable for all. Jane Austen’s delightful tale of Catherine Morland, a young woman whose imagination runs wild, remains as captivating as ever. With a fresh, modern cover, this edition invites readers to discover — or rediscover — Austen’s wit and warmth, offering a comfortable reading experience while staying true to the original text.
✨ The Master of Tides by Jamin Still
An atmospheric, coming-of-age fantasy filled with mystery, courage, and the pull of destiny. When the tides turn, adventure awakens — and this beautifully told novel is perfect for fans of heartfelt, imaginative storytelling and looking forward to a full series in this world.
