Children on a mission to read!
Libraries in south Warwickshire have been inspiring young people to read their way through the school holidays in a summer reading challenge with backing from Alex Rider, the hero of one of this summer’s family blockbusters.
The nationwide Summer Reading ChallengeTM is in its eighth year and has seen children aged between 4-12 years, making the most of their long break from the classroom by following a ‘top secret’ reading mission in the library. The challenge began on 15 July, but it’s not over yet!
