Nim's Island in the Australian Readers' Challenge

Can you imagine what it would be like not to be able to read?

Did you know that in some remote indigenous communities in Australia's Northern Territories, the literacy rate is only 7%? That means only 7 out of 100 of people can read.

Do you want to help change that?

Can you read 10 books between March and September?

And last but not least: do you want a signed certificate from Ian Thorpe?

Nim's Island is on the list of books to choose from. What else will you choose?
