Winter Reading Challenge: Home

The Challenge

Over this winter break we are challenging you to read something new. You can do this in one of four ways:

  1. Read a book about a character who doesn’t look like you or live like you.
  2. Read a book about a topic you don’t know much about.
  3. Read a book in a format that you don’t normally read for fun. This might be a graphic novel, a novel in verse, an audio book, an e-book or short stories.
  4. Read a book in a genre that you don't normally read, whether it's a mystery, horror, sci-fi, historical fiction, romance, or something else!

If you really want to go for the gold star, read a book that fits all four criteria!

Want some help finding a book for the challenge or ideas to get you started? Click through the guide to find some curated reading recommendations that fit the prompts.
