*Please take note of your assigned numbers, they may be important for some of the tasks*
(Each person’s name is linked to their challenge bookshelf and the book listed beside their name is their mg book recommendation)

The spreadsheet containing all the tasks will be shared with every team member via email invite on August 1st: (countdown: )
I understand that may make it a bit hard to plan your first few books if you need to borrow them from a library in advance, but the tasks are many and wide enough in criteria that you can read any book at first and easily apply it to a task.

2 important things to note:
1. REFER TO THE RULES
- You can find them here: /topic/show/...
- They list every detail from how the points are calculated to information on the bonus tasks.
- If you have a question please check it against the rules and if you’re still looking for an answer please put it to your team captain who will ask me in the Captain's Chat and refer back to you.

2. MAKE SURE YOUR BOOKS COUNT
It’ll be really sad if you spend the time reading a book and then end up realising it doesn’t even count towards the challenge, so always check it counts before starting to read it!
Refer to the rules to remind yourself of what counts as an mg book for the challenge: /topic/show/...
Remember you can now check books against the US website: AND UK website:

If you’re reading a book with a specific task in mind and you’re not sure if your book will count towards the challenge, please check the Task Guidance tab on your team spreadsheet. If it doesn’t help then ask your team captain who will either answer if they can or pass on the question to me on the Captain's Chat and they’ll let you know the answer.

Ice-breaker:
1. Introduce yourself! Tell your fellow team members what your favourite genres to read are and some things you like to do besides reading.

2. Decide on a team name! Choose the name of a protagonist (or main character) from a middle grade book/series. This challenge has been hosted twice now and here are what past teams have chosen: Coraline, Alice Queensmeadow, Logan Sweet, Lucy Pevensie, Sirius Black, Merlin, and Charlotte, so please don’t choose those!

Hi Team! I'm Anissa. This is my first time participating in this challenge but I'm excited to get started. My favorites to read are fantasy and historical romance. Beside reading I like to listen to music and play video games. I'm also learning to play D&D.

Hi guys welcome to the team! We r gonna have great fun I’m sure! I’m Eden and I participated last year but this is my first time being captain. My favourite genres r most things YA, Fantasy, Contemporary and Action/Adventure. I also love playing video games such as animal crossing and splatoon and spending time with my family!

My name suggestions is Tracy Beaker just cuz I loved Jacqueline Wilson books and tbh still do

What do u guys think!

Hi! My name is Georgann and I read just about everything! Maybe fantasy is my favorite genre. This is my first time to do this. Being with family is my other most favorite thing to do. I loved The Chronicles of Ancient Darkness Wolf Brother So I'd suggest Renn, Torak or Wolf. But I'm very easy going so whatever is fine with me.

Hi everyone! I’m Gale. This is my first challenge like this. I’m excited to read lots of MG. My favorite genres are fantasy and historical fiction. I love Harry Potter, of course.
When I’m not reading, I’m spending time with my kids and dogs. I’m also buying books, browsing books, and thinking about browsing or buying books. Haha! Just kidding!
I’m open to any team name.

My team name suggestion is Harriet M. Welsch from Harriet the Spy.

Welcome everyone!
I quite like the suggestion of Team Wolf it sounds rlly powerful idk
R u guys up for that?

I like the name Team Wolf!

Ok shall we go with that then unless anyone else has any suggestions?

At first I wasn't sure if I was sold on Team Wolf but it has grown on me over time. So, if that's what we want to go with, I'm in!

Hi! Im Michelle and just returned from a Disney trip so I apologize for my delayed response. I love reading middle grade fantasy, historical fiction, and realistic fiction. I participated in the challenge and hoping to sneak in reading while starting a new job. Looking forward to getting started on Monday!

Welcome to the team! If it’s ok guys I’ll go ahead and let Kadi know that we r team wolf

Thanks, Eden! I excited to get started tomorrow!
I’m going to try to finish Cinder today. It’s been a book I’ve been reading in between others for a month. But it’s YA and it won’t count for us tomorrow!
Has anyone else read it?

Ahh Cinder I’ve wanted to read it for ages but never got round to it. I’m also trying to finish a YA to start tomorrow. It’s called if I stay. It’s not a easy read let’s just say

I’m so excited that tomorrow is finally the day!

Hi Team Wolf!
Your team spreadsheet has been sent to all of you via email invite, so please check your junk mail. If you don’t see the invite soon then please let your captain know or message me privately and I can send you an invite again or we can try with another email if you want.

The spreadsheet has 4 tabs at the bottom:
1. MG Challenge � The official challenge sheet. Points calculate themselves here so please don’t change any of the points coding!
2. Tracking Sheet � An informal tracking sheet for everyone’s book details.
3. Task Guidance � Specific and helpful guidance for individual tasks. Please check this first before asking your captain or me questions.
4. Example of MG Challenge � An example to show you how to fill in the first tab.

Your team captain is in charge of the MG Challenge sheet (the first tab) so please leave it to them to fill in the official challenge sheet unless they’re fine with you doing it too. The tracking sheet is for everyone, fill it in as you please!

For page numbers please either:
1. Use the number in the goodreads� book entry OR
2. Use the number in your own copy
(They shouldn’t be too wildly different anyway)

Please wait for August 1st in your time zone before you start reading books for the challenge!
The bonus tasks will be added to your spreadsheet on August 15th.
And happy reading!😊

I've read If I Stay... I know exactly what you mean.

Ok guys! Here we go!

I have not done this challenge before, so even though I have reviewed all the rules, I think I still need a bit of clarification for how things work.
Are we as a team trying to get as many tasks completed? As in - one person reads a book to complete the task within a category? For example, say I read Diary of a Wimpy Kid for task 17: A book that has diary entries. Then the task is complete, no one else reads a book for that particular task, and we get the point?

How do you want to do this? should we claim categories or tasks?

I think it might be easier to claim tasks but if we can try to focus the claimed tasks toward completing an entire categories (instead of just hit and miss) that might be beneficial. Then if someone and/or a couple people have books that fulfill a particular category we should try to get those points as well.

Just my suggestions, please let me know what you think (as I'm new too).

So if a book I'm considering reading is 416 pages on Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ but in the ebook edition on Scribd there's acknowledgements, a sample chapter from the next book, etc. should I cut the tracked page count down to where the story actually ends (392)?

Hey Guys yaya it’s time for the challenge to start Altho I’ve had a technical issue already but I’ll get it sorted! Yes I think it’s best to claim books from the start so we can work out what sections need done etc. Anissa yes I think just put the page count down as 392

Can’t wait to start later on today

Awesome, thanks for the clarification Eden. I can official start in 58 minutes but I don't know how much I'll get read before I have to go to sleep. I've only tentatively added two books to the tracking sheet but am trying to find 2+ possible tasks for each so we have options.

That’s great! It’s just gone 6am here so Hopefully Kadi will see my email later so I can get started.

EdenB15 wrote: "That’s great! It’s just gone 6am here so Hopefully Kadi will see my email later so I can get started."

So random question, can the whole group see what each member is putting on the tracking sheet? That's what I got from Kadi's instructions but just wanted to make sure I'm understanding correctly.

Yep that’s right

Hi just received the spreadsheet and the tasks look so exciting.

Just remember when filling the books in use British date system eg today would be 01/08/2022

Does anyone want to claim any sections just for themselves. We get bonus points if you complete one section on ur own

I'm going to work on completing all of Cat 7: Out of this World.
If that's ok with everyone?

also, a book suggestion for task 12:A book where the protagonist has amnesia - Restart by Gordon Korman. I've already read it, but it fits perfectly.

Yes go for it Gale I might try Cat 1

Hi Team Wolf,
Quick update:
- I've changed the wording of task 37.
- I've added task guidance for task 36 & 37.

- Rereads count!
- Protagonists and main character are NOT the same thing. All protagonists are main characters but not all main characters are protagonists.
For example: in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Harry is the protagonist. Harry, Ron & Hermione are main characters. Seamus, Dean, and Neville are minor characters.
Some tasks say protagonist, some say main character so make sure to check!

@Eden, I received the email, but I can't open the spreadsheet. It says I need access. Could you please send me access or tell me what to do? Thanks! Georgann

Hi I’ll let Kadi know that u can’t get access

I would like to try category 13: Friends on the Other Side.

Morning team. Ive nearly finished my first read already for task 1 ! It was a meh read so hopefully the ext ones a good one

I’m babysitting today so hopefully ill get lots of time to read and maby finish another book so we will hv 2 then x

Hello all! I'm having a little trouble determining whether The Girl and the Ghost would fit task #65: A Book with a Protagonist Who is a Ghost. I'm kind of leaning toward yes because both Suraya and Pink are affected by/have to rely upon each other to solve the main conflict (find enough light to combat the darkness created by the pelesit's shadows) of the book. As far as I can tell a pelesit is a ghost in Malaysian culture.

Please let me know what you think. :)

I'll try Category 12 The Monster You Created. I may need some help, tho, with finding books that fit. But if anyone wants to help, that is fine, too. I added to the spreadsheet the books I plan to read so far.

Annisa, I’m not sure if that fits. I haven’t read the book, the blurb though. When I looked up pelesit, it sounds more like a demon to me. Sorry I’m not helpful

Gale wrote: "Annisa, I’m not sure if that fits. I haven’t read the book, the blurb though. When I looked up pelesit, it sounds more like a demon to me. Sorry I’m not helpful"

It's okay Gale, that's where I was confused too. Although all the chapters in the book are titled Ghost or Girl. 🤔

It's okay Gale, that'..." Could it possible work for #30?

It's o..."

I think for #30 the chapter titles can be different characters' names but they have to be their actual names. For example, In The Girl and the Ghost the characters are Suraya and Pink so, unfortunately, Ghost and Girl aren't specific enough. Thank you for the suggestion though.

Just read a book called poppy loves Devon but can’t get it to fit any of the categories

Eden- oh no! I’m sure we can get it to fit in one of them! It’s still so early in the challenge. I’d hate to waste a read.
I’m finishing up my book this afternoon. I’ve been filling in the tracking sheet. Just checking, do you see my books on there? .

Yep gale I can see it perfectly

Great! Thanks!

Hey team how r we today planning a fun reading day ahead
