What a fantastic achievement already. Thank you to everyone who has taken part so far.

📚 So far, 109 children have completed the Challenge, which is a wonderful result. Congratulations to all our brilliant young readers!

There are still plenty of participants working towards their sixth book, and we'd love to welcome even more finishers before the summer ends.
