This winter the Christmas Mini Challenge is back by popular demand!

Once again we're working with the fantastic Cressida Cowell. She has recorded this special message for us, challenging children to read any three library books between 12 December 2014 and 6 January 2015.

To take part children simply need to update their profile page on the Summer Reading Challenge website with the three books they have read, to receive a virtual badge and secret video as a reward.

Get involved

Libraries and schools can use this video to promote the Christmas Mini Challenge and download our special call to action and promotional poster. There's a space at the bottom of the promotional poster for you to add your logo and any other messages should you wish to do so.

This year, we have also produced a special certificate that libraries and schools can download and award to children who have completed the challenge - you can ask children to print off their profile as proof of the books they have read.

Children can visit the Summer Reading Challenge website from 12 December to take part in the Christmas Mini Challenge.

Parents can join us on our Facebook page for all the latest Christmas mini-challenge news.
