Meet Benjamin
Benjamin is a bookmark whose job is to stay put—until he discovers just how easy it is to lose his place.
He adores:
- His dear friend, Ms. Redmond
- His paperclip collection
- Grandiose job titles
- His wild tassel of orange hair—
- and listening to stories, of course.
And he’s about to discover that bookmarking is anything but simple.
The Secret Life of Bookmarks
The Secret Life of Bookmarks introduces Benjamin—fresh from class, eager to impress, and already off course . . .
Bookmarks are supposed to stay in place, right? That’s their one job! But rookie bookmark Benjamin is discovering that staying put can be surprisingly 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, he finds himself far from the library—and his book!
How does a bookmark find his place when he’s completely lost it?
Benjamin’s about to discover his job isn’t lying around all day listening to stories!

Learning to read is one thing, but wanting to read is another.
Benjamin Bookmark helps young readers make that leap—with stories that engage without overwhelming.
FOR AGES 6–9
Benjamin Bookmark Series
The Secret Life of Bookmarks launches the Benjamin Bookmark series—chapter-book adventures that help young readers grow in confidence, independence, and a love of reading.
Each story is a new “work assignment” for Benjamin—a different book (with a personality all its own) … and a new challenge. He’s determined to do his job right—but staying in place isn’t always as easy as it sounds.
Meet Benjamin: a well-meaning, resilient, and delightfully career-minded young bookmark.
Sized and paced for newly independent readers, with whimsical black-and-white illustrations throughout by Trish Heully.
