What's this year's challenge?
Join the Marvellous Makers - Amelia, Charlie, Kai, Maya, Riley, Laila and Yasmin - plus Bob the dog, who are all members of a creative club at their local library. They've been busy making things for a festival at the library this summer, but some of the items are missing from their creative toolbox and they can't finish their projects! Tails (a cheeky squirrel) has been seen at the club, we wonder who has taken them?
Your quest is to play detective, collecting stickers by reading books all summer to find out what Tails has been up. If you complete the challenge, you will save the festival.
To help you on the way, you'll receive a poster where you can log the books you've read, collect stickers and help the makers complete their projects.
