Designed for four- to 11-year-olds, the aim is for children to read six books during the summer holidays and pass on their ideas for what to read next with family and friends.
The challenge was inspired by consultation with children and is intended to encourage children to share their reading choices during the summer and beyond.
The nationwide event is run by the Reading Agency in libraries throughout the country and it is completely free to take part.
The challenge is designed for all reading abilities and most libraries run activities for the linked to the early years for pre-school children.
Children can join the challenge at their local library and pick any kind of book they like - including factual books, joke books, picture books, audio books - as long they are borrowed from the library.
