What is the HELL Reading Challenge?
The HELL Reading Challenge is a nationwide program run by The New Zealand Book Awards Trust in conjunction with HELL pizza to encourage school-age children to read more.
Who can join the HELL Reading Challenge?
Any school aged child from Years 1-10
How does the HELL Reading Challenge work ?
Come along to any Waimakariri Library to pick up a pizza wheel and then get reading. For every book read, ask library staff to click off and sign a pizza slice on your wheel. Once you have completed 7 slices you can get your wheel stamped at the library and then trade it in for a free pizza at HELL pizza!
**Pizzas must be picked up in person and there is a limit of one pizza per child per visit. Further terms and conditions are on the back of the Pizza wheels**
