Do you know where your bookmark is?
Bookmarks are supposed to stay in place, right? That's their one job! But rookie bookmark Benjamin is finding that staying put can be suprisingly tricky. Fresh from class and eager to impress, he's assigned to the grumpy Tide Pools book and determined to follow the First Rule of bookmarking.
Instead, Benjamin finds himself far from the library—and his book! How does a bookmark find his place when he's completely lost it?
Benjamin is about to discover his job isn’t lying around all day listening to stories!
About the Benjamin Bookmark Series
Reading age: 6+ years
What if books were talkative, self-absorbed — and, frankly, a bit annoying?
What if bookmarking wasn’t lying around all day listening to stories?
What if bookmarking was harder than it looks?
Welcome to the wildly unpredictable world of Benjamin Bookmark!
In this funny and adventurous early chapter book series for ages 6–9, rookie bookmark Benjamin is shocked to discover that books can talk — and that keeping his place in the world of stories is serious work. Every book has a personality… and not all of them are easy to handle. As Benjamin stumbles through mishaps, misunderstandings, and unexpected challenges, he discovers that resilience, quick thinking, and a good sense of humor are essential tools of the trade. With a dash of overconfidence, he slowly learns that every story — and every setback — has something to teach him.
Perfect for newly independent readers who love imaginative worlds, lively characters, and page-turning adventures. Delightfully illustrated by Trish Heully.
