To take part in the Winter Mini Challenge online, children simply read any books (including eBooks and audiobooks) of their choice (we recommend reading at least three), then rate and review them at www.wintermini.org.uk Books added to the website during the six-week Mini Challenge period will count towards unlocking special rewards including a certificate and a virtual badge. The website will also feature activities, recommendations for great winter reads, and competitions. And, just like the Summer Reading Challenge, the website will also feature the Book Sorter - a unique database which has over 1.3 million peer-to-peer recommendations. If any parents or your children are not members of the library they can join online, receive a temporary number via email and start borrowing straight away. To join the library please visit www.stockport.gov.uk/join-your-local-library Challenge dates Tues 1 December - Friday 15 January
