The Booktrust Challenge is back!

Every year the Learning Lounge gets gifted 5 sets of wonderful books which are considered modern classics. Our Booktrust books have finally arrived and they are beautiful!
To celebrate these awesome novels we have resurrected the Booktrust challenge. If you want to take part its simple:
1. Pick up a Booktrust Challenge.
2. Read the book and answer the 10 questions.
3. If you are one of the first 6 to complete the challenge you will be rewarded with 25 credit points and an LL goody bag/ free book!
The first Booktrust challenge to grace our shelves this year, is a book called 'Running on the Roof of the World.' This book is set in Tibet and follows the story of two friends trying to make their way across the Himalaya's to get to India. It's heart-warming, emotional and will make you fall in love with Yaks.
What's STOPPING YOU? Come grab your copy today and be whisked away into a world of wonder.
Running on the Roof of the World by Jess Butterworth
There are two words that are banned in Tibet. Two words that can get you locked in prison without a second thought. I watch the soldiers tramping away and call the words after them. 'Dalai Lama.'
Tash has to follow many rules to survive in Tibet, a country occupied by Chinese soldiers. But when a man sets himself on fire in protest and soldiers seize Tash's parents, she and her best friend Sam must break the rules. They are determined to escape Tibet - and seek the help of the Dalai Lama himself in India.
And so, with a backpack of Tash's father's mysterious papers and two trusty yaks by their side, their extraordinary journey across the mountains begins.
