Be a reading hero!
This holiday we’re inviting you to join our Summer of Reading squad of super readers. Your challenge – should you choose to accept it – is to read at least one book during the summer break, then let us know what you think of it for a chance to enter our prize draw. If you aren’t sure what to read, take a look at our brilliant list of 50 books recommended by readers of The Week Junior.
How to enter
All you need to do is read a book (any book you like), then – using our entry form – rate it out of three stars and write a three word review for a chance to win. Make sure you have a parent/guardian’s permission before you enter.
You can enter as many times as you like, though each entry must be for a different book. The more books you read the better your chance of winning!
The winner and two runners-up will be picked at random after the prize draw closes at midnight on Friday 1 September 2023. See our full terms and conditions here.
The Prizes
First prize
One lucky winner will receive ALL the books that have been shortlisted for The Week Junior Book Awards – worth £400. They’ll also get a Bookily gift card worth £120* and a family ticket to The Week Junior Book Festival in October half term.
Runners-up
Two runners-up will each receive a Bookily gift card worth £60*
Reading record
We’ve created a poster to help you keep track of what you’ve read this summer. Print it out then stick it somewhere where you’ll see it – on a pinboard, fridge or bedroom wall. Fill it out with the details of each book you finish.
