Join the Quest for the Quill and collect your Summer Reading Challenge Booklet from your local library this summer! Choose a character and complete their challenges to help defeat the Dreaditor and recover The Quill!
Something strange is happening in Storyville: Books are losing their words. Characters are vanishing. Stories are falling silent!
The cause? The source of all stories, an ancient magical quill, has been stolen by a shadowy figure known as 'The Dreaditor'. Without it, imagination itself is at risk!
But hope remains! The wise wizard, Professor Prose, has summoned all readers to take up the quest of defeating The Dreaditor and recovering the quill.
Sign up for The Quest for the Quill on our Summer Reading Challenge Webpage. Then collect your Summer Reading Challenge booklet from any of our Waimakariri Libraries and start ticking off the challenges.
