With the school year right around the corner, it’s the perfect time to refresh your shelves and dive into new stories that inspire a lifelong love of reading. Back to school shopping is always an exciting (if chaotic) time, which is why we’ve put together this guide to help you easily find the best picks for the school season. Read on to explore gifts for young readers, picture-perfect dorm decor, and books for parents to enjoy while the kids are off at school.
Young readers may complain about their summer reading assignments, but when it comes to these epic fantasy sagas, they can’t get enough. For readers beginning around ages 8-12, the Percy Jackson collection is one of our best selling sets. Compiling three classic series by bestselling author Rick Riordan, this collection is sure to instill a lifelong love of reading and earn a permanent spot on any reader’s shelf. And, of course, we can’t discuss young readers’ fiction without mentioning Harry Potter. JK Rowling’s classic tale of the boy who lived has captured the imagination of millions of young readers worldwide. Perhaps one reason for this series’ long-lasting popularity is Harry, who grows from a boy into a young adult over the course of the story. Young readers can re-read and appreciate this story time and time again, growing up alongside its hero.
To all the parents with a bit of newfound free time, we have you covered! Kick off the school year with a new book series and some well-earned relaxation. Transport yourself to regency-era London with the Bridgerton series by Julia Quinn, a best-selling romance series with a hit Netflix adaptation. A charming historical romance in British high society – need we say more? For lovers of sci-fi and action, we can’t get enough of Pierce Brown’s Red Rising. A cosmic page-turner set on dystopian Mars, Red Rising is also a staff favorite here at Juniper Books.
Book sets are the perfect addition to your dormitory or workspace. Make your dorm feel like home with a stunning edition of your favorite series! Fans of ACOTAR, Throne of Glass, and Crescent City can proudly display their books with our full Sarah J. Maas collection. Purchase your favorite series on its own, or assemble all three to create one dazzling continuous image. Another favorite series is Outlander by Diana Gabaldon, a best-selling historical fantasy set in 18th-century Scotland. Our Juniper Books edition set features an enchanting display of the Scottish highlands, while our botanical Outlander set can bring a cottagecore touch to your room.
