Sow the Seeds of a Lifetime of Reading...

It's never too early to open the world of books to a child. Give a new parent a Book Sense Gift Card and encourage them to read aloud to their baby. Congratulate grandparents with a Book Sense Gift Card and
suggest that they begin to build that special child's library. From the interactive fun of Pat the Bunny to the exciting adventures to be found in picture books and beyond, the Book Sense Gift Card is the perfect gift to welcome the next generation of readers!

Give Your Growing Reader a Book Allowance...

You can add funds to a Book Sense Gift Card over and over again, so your favorite young reader will always be able to buy that hot new title or add a classic book to his or her collection. Whether it's the silly rhymes of The Cat in the Hat and other titles from Dr. Seuss, or the latest work of a beloved author, the Book Sense Gift Card is a great way to encourage the habit of reading.

Change of Heart by Jodi Picoult 

A decade after being convicted of the murder of young Elizabeth Nealon and her cop stepfather, a death row inmate seeks salvation by offering to become an organ donor for Elizabeth's sister. Can we save ourselves, or do we rely on others to do it? Is what we believe always the truth? One moment June Nealon was happily looking forward to years full of laughter and adventure with her family, and the next, she was staring into a future that was as empty as her heart. Now her life is a waiting game. Waiting for time to heal her wounds, waiting for justice. In short, waiting for a miracle to happen. For Shay Bourne, life holds no more surprises. The world has given him nothing, and he has nothing to offer the world. In a heartbeat, though, something happens that changes everything for him. Now, he has one last chance for salvation, and it lies with June's eleven-year-old daughter, Claire. But between Shay and Claire stretches an ocean of bitter regrets, past crimes, and the rage of a mother who has lost her child. Would you give up your vengeance against someone you hate if it meant saving someone you love? Would you want your dreams to come true if it meant granting your enemy's dying wish? Once again, Jodi Picoult mesmerizes and enthralls readers with this story of redemption, justice, and love. Alan just started reading our preview copy this past weekend and is enjoying seeing how the story develops. $26.95
