We accept the Premier's Reading Challenge!

We were tickled pink to learn that Airborne Australia was one of the new book titles to be included for the Victorian Premier's Reading Challenge for 2008. The book was even featured in the special lift-out which appeared in The Age newspaper on Monday 7 April.

This event, now in its fourth year, is open to all Victorian school students from Prep to Year 10, and is designed to encourage schoolkids to broaden their reading horizons.

So, for example, school students from Years 3 to 10 must read 15 books between 30 January - 31 August 2008, with at least 10 of those books to be chosen from the Reading Challenge booklist. (Just make sure that Airborne Australia is one of the titles you choose, okay? Heh, heh, heh...)

You'll need to be a registered user at the Premier's Reading Challenge website, and log-in regularly to keep an online record of your reading throughout the event. and everyone who successfully completes the Challenge will receive a certificate of achievement from the Victorian State Premier, John Brumby (pictured above).

If you haven't already signed up, then get onto it straight away. And start re-reading Airborne Australia as a form of pre-Challenge training. Harrumph!
