New competition - The Seven Stones
Curled up in an armchair with a favourite book, what child hasn't dreamt of becoming part of a fantasy world? For one lucky young reader, that dream will soon be a reality.
Supported by several national organisations, the Seven Stones Competition will offer the opportunity for a child to become a character in the new adventure series: Terry, the Torus and the Tumblestones. Judging panel includes representatives from: Federation of Children's Book Groups, School Library Association, Renaissance Learning, Booktrust and N. A. T. E.
Readers of the first book in the series, The Seven Stones, simply write (in 100 words or less) about who their favourite character was, and why they liked them. The winner (to be chosen from a panel made up of representatives of the above organisations, The Daily Mail and The Yorkshire Post) will become a character in the third book in the series, The Guardian of the Past.
Entries are administered by Schools and Libraries, and full details can be found on the series website.
