The Series Challenge: finish a book series in order
Pick one book series and read it to the end, in order, or a shelf of Peabody's own classics (ten fables, fairy tales, myths, legends or world tales, easiest first). Every book you finish puts a spine on your shelf.
The rules
What counts. The books of the series or the shelf you picked: for a series, the ones that are out today, and a book ticked on the series page counts here too, so nothing is logged twice; for a Classics shelf, its ten free stories in the library.
The finish. The last spine fills the shelf and earns the certificate.
Who it is for. Readers 7 to 13 who have found a series they love: comics like Dog Man, Bone or Cat Kid Comic Club, or novels.
How the tracker works
- Pick your animal. Brothers and sisters each pick their own, up to six on one device, and nobody types a name.
- Tap Log a book and tap the book: a Peabody story at your level, a book from one of Peabody's kids' lists, a book from a series, or, with a grown-up, a book from somewhere else.
- Watch the picture fill. Read on more than one day in a row and the dots show your streak.
- Print the chart or your log at any time. The certificate lights up at the finish line, and only there.
Everything is kept on this device. Nothing a child logs is sent anywhere: Peabody counts that a book was logged in this challenge, and nothing about the book or the reader.
