Welcome to the Winter Mini Challenge!
Welcome to the Winter Mini Challenge 2018!
We’ve teamed up with Nosy Crow to bring you some extra special reading rewards inspired by the SNOW-MAZING new book, There’s a Yeti in the Playground, by Pamela Butchart and Thomas Flintham!
Sounds great! How do I take part?
Taking part in the Winter Mini Challenge is simple: all you have to do is read three books between Saturday 1 December 2018 and Friday 11 January 2019
Once you’ve read a book, add it to your website profile and write a review to let everyone know what you thought.
Add 3 books (or more) to complete the Mini Challenge!
There’s a brand new Yeti certificate AND an exclusive virtual badge for everyone who completes the Mini Challenge:
