The Reading Challenge is on again!

A good book and a good pizza what could be better? The HELL Reading Challenge has begun again. All year 7 and 8 students can earn free pizza by taking part in the Reading Challenge.


Part of the New Zealand Book Awards for children and young adults, the HELL Reading Challenge is a well-established programme, now in its fifth year, which has been hugely successful in getting kids reading and enjoying the pleasures of stories — with the bonus of free pizza rewards.


The HELL Reading Challenge is free, and it is so easy! Children receive a stamp on their pizza wheel for each book they read, and once seven books have been read they can redeem their pizza wheel for a free 333 kids’ pizza at their local HELL's Pizza shop.


HELL Reading Challenge begins: 1 March 2018

HELL Reading Challenge ends: 3 December 2018

Review: The Girl With All the Gifts

The Girl With All the Gifts by M.R. Carey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Great story, not what I was expecting from reading the publishers information. A great addition to the 'end of the world' literature. The characters are sympathetic, the plot possible and the book ends on a positive note for the future of the world if not for the current human race.
