We're so excited to be a part of the 500 Words competition. We read around 5,000 of the best stories each year and help the BBC decide which stories go through to the final. We love reading the funny, exciting and creative stories each year that kids have written.
Our judges are raring to go for this year, and wanted to share their experiences.
We are very excited to announce the book collection for the Summer Reading Challenge 2018, Mischief Makers.
Check out the Summer Reading Challenge website where children can chat, get reading recommendations and play games.

Reading for pleasure is more important to children’s successes than education or social class. The Summer Reading Challenge gets three quarters of a million children into libraries to keep up their reading skills and confidence during the long holidays while Chatterbooks reading groups help build a lifelong reading habit. Because everything changes when we read.
