These school holidays are going fast! There are only 18 days left of the Summer Reading Challenge. Remember that every book you read and review from the Challenges’ book list will gain you an entry into the big prize draw at the end of the Challenge.
We’ve had some fantastic reviews come in so far – read them all here.
Happy reading!
Read, review and win prizes – take part in the 2013-2014 Summer Reading Challenge.
All you need to do it grab a booklist from your local library (or check it out on our website) and start reading.
The challenge is to read as many books from the list as you can before Sunday 2nd February. Write a Kids’ Club review for each book and earn prizes. Each review will also get you an entry into the Summer Reading Challenge main prize draw (drawn in February).
The booklist is full of fun and interesting things to read – fiction, non-fiction, comics, puzzle books, award winners, New Zealand books, and loads more – there’s 50 to chose from!
