Be a Wild World Hero this Winter!
Welcome to the Winter Mini Challenge 2021!
For the Summer Reading Challenge this year we teamed up with WWF and explored nature and action for the environment with the Wild World Heroes.
This winter we are very excited that the Wild World Heroes are back to help with the Winter Mini Challenge!
Join the Wild World Heroes as they embark on an Arctic adventure to find out about the creatures that live there. You will find out about the environmental issues facing this remote place and might even spot a narwhal or two.
Sounds great! How do I take part?
Taking part in the Winter Mini Challenge is simple: all you have to do is read at least three books between Wednesday 1 December 2021 and Sunday 20 February 2022.
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 Winter Mini Challenge and become a Wild World Hero!
There’s a brand new certificate AND a limited-edition virtual badge for every Wild World Hero who completes the Mini Challenge.
We even have a handy Reading Record to help you keep track of your winter reads. CLICK HERE to get yours!
