Summer Reading Quest

A Summer Reading Quest for Your Child
​

Libraries are famous for their summer reading programs. Kids sign up to read books, go to events at the library, and have a final party to celebrate their successes. Fellowship of Fantasy has taken that idea and put their own spin on it. Why not have an online reading quest?

Fellowship of Fantasy authors, as well as other indie authors, have joined together to provide a summer reading list for middle grade and young adult readers. Each title has been given a set number of gold coin value which are then allotted to the child for reading that book. Gold coins can be spent on biweekly tourney prizes (giveaways) and saved up for the final tourney prize of a Kindle Fire 7 complete with a library of clean reads. At the end of the quest, readers will earn a certificate of achievement complete with a ranking.

Sound like something your child would want to participate in? Here are your next steps. First off, each child who wishes to become a reading knight, must first join the list, also known as registering. We have a handy-dandy form you can fill out that will include a valid email address (don’t worry, it’s only to notify you if your child has won a prize), name, school, and grade. From there, they get to do a bit of dreaming. If they could choose any book from the quest to own, which would it be? Several authors have offered to mail a book to readers. (Any book or series with an asterisk next to it can be requested.) Next, they gather their books. Reading will begin on Friday, June 1, and end on Saturday, September 1. Any book from the list read during those dates will count toward their quest.

Throughout the summer, reader knights will fill out forms to enter for tourney prizes. Tourney prizes will consist of gift cards, Lego sets, mini paperback libraries, a painted horse, stuffed dragons, and fantasy gift baskets. Your young knights can also keep track of their books read and gold coins earned using their own quest map. Separate quests and reading bingo activities will be available throughout the summer as well. We’ll keep you updated on those through occasional emails. Be assured we will keep this information secret and safe, and it will only be used to mail out the prize.

In August, readers can meet the authors and discuss the books via a Facebook party. They’ll also have the opportunity to use their own favorite social media outlet to share with their friends and interact with the authors on a more personal level.
Finally, when September 1 rolls around, be sure to enter for the final tourney prizes—the Kindle Fire 7 with ebook library, Hobbit Mirkwood Elf Army Lego set #79012, and a fantasy gift basket. Each entry costs 10 gold coins.
