You’ll definitely remember that new book smell, but you may also notice new lingo and cool upgrades to the Book Fair you grew up with.

We've given a name to the head-to-toe thrill that comes from choosing your own book, holding a brand-new adventure in your hands, and finding yourself in a story.

What is an eWallet?

Now there's a cashless way to shop the Fair! Create and fund a digital account for your child– and share the link with family and friends who want to contribute. Check out  eWallet .

What is All for Books™?
