The second of a three volume young reader series about Beatrix and her best friend Box, a sentient cardboard container! In this book they work together to put on an eccentric variety show. Perfect for fans of Narwhal and Jelly!

Friends Bea and Box love to spend their time together dreaming up exciting new things to try, and Box's next dream is as big and glitzy as Hollywood itself—they're putting on a variety show! But before the curtain goes up and the entertainers take the stage, the two friends have a lot to do, like finding a curtain... And come to think of it, they're going to need a stage, and some entertainers....

There's a lot to do before their dreams of show business stardom come true, but they know that they can pull off anything together—especially with a little help from their grownups—once they make a plan. Come along for all the behind-the-scenes action as Bea and Box tackle the task of creating, advertising, casting, costuming, and finally staging their most ambitious adventure yet—Super Terrific Showtime!

With a rapid pub schedule—the first book comes out Fall 2025, the second in Winter 2026, and the third in Fall 2026—this series is perfectly positioned to be a young reader's instant favorite!
