Summer reading challenge 2009
Quest Seekers 2009
What happened in 'Quest Seekers'
Hundreds of children became Quest Seekers and we challenged you to complete three tasks:
- Firebird Rising
- Mountain Mission
- Dragon's Lair.
Each task involved reading two books and collecting stickers, bookmarks, models and puzzles. If you finished all three tasks, you completed the quest! You will receive a special Quest Seekers medal and certificate.
Children under four took part in a Quest Seekers Book Crawl to earn a very special certificate and Bookstart Bear teddies.
There were lots of events as well, including Harry Potter shows and Hogwarts summer school, puppet shows, drama and music workshops, storytelling and crafts.
Competitions
Everyone who completed the summer reading challenge entered a prize draw for tickets to Legoland, Chessington World of Adventures and other great prizes. Check our list of competition winners.
Children who wrote the best book reviews won free DVD vouchers – read the winning summer book reviews.
