June 2021 'WONDROUS WORLDS' Unboxing!

By: Shanleigh Klassen

Pack up and head out on an adventure of global proportions with our June 2021 'WONDROUS WORLDS' box. Our story this month will transport you to some of the most imaginative worlds we've ever visited!

Our June box features fun and useful items inspired by some of our favorite destinations in classic and contemporary middle grade. This box also includes the BIGGEST item we've included in an OwlCrate Jr box yet, and it's absolutely incredible!

Here is everything we included:

Our June 2021 book pick is Strangeworlds Travel Agency by L.D. Lapinski. This portal fantasy has us side-eyeing suitcases wherever we go.

The first in a scintillating new series, this book is perfect for fans of The Train To Impossible Places, Nevermoor, and A Wrinkle In Time! It is a portal fantasy adventure, with incredible storytelling and nail-biting excitement. 

Image shows an OwlCrate Jr exclusive copy of Strangeworlds Travel Agency by L.D. Lapinski. Book image shows a girl being lead by a boy from open suitcase to open suitcase. The boy is holding a bowler hat on his head. Colours are deep to lighter blue. Book is surrounded by an OwlCrate Jr box, a pen with a planet cap, flowers, and an acorn.


“When Flick Hudson accidentally ends up in the Strangeworlds Travel Agency, she uncovers a fantastic secret: there are hundreds of other worlds just steps away from ours. All you have to do to visit them is jump into the right suitcase. But, unknown to Flick, a greater mystery is a-foot. Something is causing buildings and even whole streets in far-flung worlds to disappear into nothing. Can Flick, newly recruited member of the Strangeworlds travel society, help save these seemingly doomed worlds?”

Your signed OwlCrate Jr first edition of this incredible book features an exclusive cover and even comes with the author letter from L.D. Lapinski bound inside!
