Hello, friends! And happy summer to those of you in the northern hemisphere!
It has been such an over scheduled school year for my family and I so we are THRILLED to be out of school and into the slower pace of summer vacation! And we are especially excited to participate in a number of awesome summer reading challenges!
It's hard to believe that Super Villains in Training Book 2: A Wickedly Awesome Pet comes out THIS TUESDAY! To combine my love for summer reading with my love for these characters... I am launching...
35 Indie Bookstores Across the United States currently have signed copies of the book in stock along with swag and summer reading challenge postcards! You can visit any of the stores linked below to grab your materials OR, if you don't live near one of these indies, you can request your own materials from me directly by filling out this form!
Consider requesting summer reading challenge materials for friends, neighbors, or summer programs too! I can mail you up to 50 kits (email me to discuss your needs if you need more than that!)
Whether you want 1 or 50 kits, I am thrilled to send them to your kids!
Here's how the program will work:
Pick up a summer reading postcard and swag (stickers and bookmarks!) from a participating indie bookstore (see the list below) or request a set from me directly on this form here!
Fill out the postcard with 5 books your child reads this summer
Have fun talking about the books with your child! Consider reading them together!
Fill out THIS form here to request a personalized downloadable summer reading certificate and enter to win additional prizes like SVT Book Bags, T-shirts, and more!
Optional: Have your child write a review of any book they read this summer to be featured on my website at the end of the challenge!
And that's it!
Summer reading is so great for kids of all ages for many reasons! Beyond the joy of reading, it helps kids keep up their reading skills and be ready to jump into the new school year. Even just 5 books makes a huge difference!

I really enjoyed how the summer reading challenge transformed reading into an exciting adventure rather than a task to complete. Encouraging children to read five books, talk about the stories, write reviews, and even earn personalised certificates and prizes is a wonderful way to keep them motivated throughout the holidays. I also appreciated the strong support for independent bookstores, as it reminds readers that local bookshops play an important role in building a lifelong love of reading within communities. Reading the article also made me think about Marketing Assignment Help Services in a broader sense, where setting clear goals, maintaining engagement, and creating meaningful experiences are all essential for achieving positive outcomes. The challenge is a great example of how…
