Teenagers in Lichfield and Burntwood are being encouraged to join a summer reading challenging.

The #MissionYTF scheme is organised by Staffordshire County Council’s library service and is aimed at 11 to 14-year-olds.

Summer reading challenge

The initiative sees teenagers choose a book they have read over the summer before taking on one of the following challenges:

- Re-design a book jacket.
- Bake a cake or create a piece of art to represent their favourite character from the book.
- Write a haiku – or poem – about how the book makes them feel.
- Make a 60 second video to encourage people to read the book they have enjoyed.

Photos of completed challenges can then be posted online, with winners receiving a day pass for two to Alton Towers.

Cllr Victoria Wilson, cabinet member for communities and culture at Staffordshire County Council, said:

> “This is a really successful scheme that helps get teenagers into books and helps to keep them reading over the summer holidays.  
>  
> “This year is a bit different because of the coronavirus restrictions, so to make it a bit easier, young people can pick any book they have read and then choose one of the list of tasks.  
>  
> “It includes regular printed books or anything they have read in a digital format such as e-books, e-audiobooks or e-comics.”  
>  
> Cllr Victoria Wilson, Staffordshire County Council

People will also be able to view all the entries on an online gallery throughout November.
