The Little Literati Summer Reading Challenge

Get your readers ready! The Little Literati in my house are challenging The Little Literati in your house to some summer reading with a scavenger-hunt twist!

Find and read ten books that fit the descriptions below, and keep track of your progress. When you complete the challenge, email your name, mailing address, and list of ten books to thelittleliterati@gmail.com.

All who meet the challenge will receive a snail-mailed Little Literati envelope from the Prices with readerly tokens and things that inspire little literary ones. All those who complete the challenge will also be entered into a drawing for a mystery book box full of reading and reading accessories (worth over $100). 

Submissions must be received no later than Friday, August 1, 2014, to be included in the drawing. Only one submission per child. Children through rising eighth grade may participate. The winner will be notified by email the first week of August.

Happy reading!

Secretly, we’ll all know that the reading is the real prize, but you don’t have to tell them that.
