We've been subscribing to Book Drop for many months now, and we did have some custom options when we signed up. First, we had to select among "Adventurous," "Pleasant," or "A little bit of everything!" (Of course my 9-year-old son chose Adventurous.) They then asked about my son's age and reading level.
This is the little note that was included about why they chose this month's selection. They also included a bookmark from their brick-and-mortar in Delaware.
Little League Play Ball! by Matt Christopher - Value $7
Book Summary from Amazon:
"Eleven-year-old cousins catcher Liam McGrath and pitcher Carter Jones grew up playing baseball together. Now, their team is on the verge of winning the greatest championship of all: the Little League Baseball Æ World Series. To reach the title match, however, they must first beat their number one rivals from Southern California. Little do they know that the game will prove to be just the first challenge they'll face on their road to the championships."
My son is not really into baseball, but he's curious. More importantly, he's into reading, so I'm sure as long as the story is good, he will love it. Plus it got 5 stars on Amazon!
Dover Baseball Activity Book - Value $1.50
About every other month, Book Drop sends us a little extra like this activity book. I love activity books like this for the kids when we have long car trips. They will enjoy this.
Verdict: Our verdict with The Book Drop for kids is becoming pretty standard every month. Unless they send us a particularly valuable bonus item, each month it's pretty much the same - great book selection, not so great value. I am very grateful for the book selection; I don't know enough about kid lit to always point my sons in the best direction. Is it worth $5 extra? I'm not sure.
