Give the gift of reading with #WeReadBox – #Kickstarter Launch Today

WeRead Box logo

Two Dorset-based book lovers (hint – one of them is me) are launching a Kickstarter for a bi-monthly book subscription box aimed at 8-12 year olds – and anyone else who loves a good story.


The box will launch in September 2019 with September and November’s boxes being exclusive to Kickstarter supporters. Following a successful campaign the boxes will be available to the general public from January 2020, with gift cards available as the perfect Christmas gift.


Each box will contain:

A carefully selected, newly released middle grade book, in a mix of genres

A signed bookplate

A matching/themed bookmark

Themed collectible pin with locking back

WeRead Activity Booklet featuring content from WeRead members and monthly book club discussion and activity prompts

Author introduction video and post read Q&A (provided online)

Additional Item/s inspired by the monthly theme/book

Each box will be carefully curated in the hope that the books and box contents will appeal to readers of all genders.

WeRead Box is committed to making their packaging and products as eco-friendly as possible.


Quote “Reading should not be presented to children as a chore or duty. It should be offered to them as a precious gift.

Reading for pleasure has been shown to develop, among other qualities, kindness and empathy, things our world is in definite need of. The quote above epitomises WeRead Box’s ethos. We will package and present reading as something fun to engage in, whilst encouraging our readers to use what they’ve learned from the book in their everyday lives – all delivered directly to your door!


The Kickstarter launched at 8am Friday 7th June 2019 and will run for 28 days. By supporting it today, you can ensure access to our exclusive 2019 boxes and maybe even snag an early bird discount https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kirstyes/weread-box
