Local MP Rosie Winterton is supporting a campaign run by charity The Reading Agency to encourage all primary school children to take part in this year's Summer Reading Challenge, which launches across England and Wales on Saturday 14 July.
This year's Summer Reading Challenge is Mischief Makers, celebrating the 80th anniversary of the much loved comic, Beano.
To take part all children need to do is to head to their local library where they will be given a colourful collector's map of Beanotown to keep a record of their reading journey. As children read at least six library books over the summer, they will collect stickers which will help them crack the clues and help Dennis, Gnasher and friends find the buried treasure.
