Story
Hi everyone, my name is Jack and I am 10 years old. I am extremely passionate about our environment and wildlife, so I have decided to do something positive to try to help.
This Summer I have set myself a reading challenge to read the 10 books in the photograph over my school holiday's. Each book I have chosen is at least 250 pages long!
My aim is to read one of my books a week to hopefully raise money, through your sponsorship, to plant sapling trees in the UK. If I manage to raise £250 then this will allow me to donate 500 square meters of new woodland to be planted, which would be amazing! This would hugely help the environment, the local wildlife and global warming too! The much bigger aim in the UK is for 20 million new trees to be planted by 2030, so please help me to contribute to this amazing target.
With any additional funds raised I would really love to be able to adopt a jaguar. The jaguar has been virtually wiped out from most of its northern range. Jaguars now only occupy around half of their historic habitat .Sadly, this habitat is under significant threat, mainly because of the areas of rainforest being lost every day. Help is desperately needed to prevent the extinction of this beautiful animal.
If you do think that my challenge and causes are worthy ones then please donate whatever you can to me. Every little bit helps!
Thank you very much,
Jack x

3 years agoSo, I've successfully completed my task! I finished my final book....Wizards of Once Never and Forever on Sunday afternoon. Just in time for my return to school. I can't say thank you enough to everyone who has donated and supported me with this challenge. I am now going to split the money between both of my causes and hopefully make a difference. My last book was definitely the best book I read, it really was a case of saving the best until last. I would highly recommend it. Thank you all again, best wishes, Jack x

3 years agoBook 9 all finished now too. I am really enjoying this series of The Wizards of Once books by Cressida Cowell. Book three of the series is another 11/10 from me. Loved all the adventures and twists in the plot along the way. A real page turner, I'm hooked! I have also changed my final book for this challenge for book 4 in the series-"Never and Forever" which my Mum has just bought for me. I am already a good way through my final book and have really enjoyed completing this reading task.Thank you so much for your support, Jack xx

3 years agoBook 8 is finished now too! I have just finished reading The Wizards of Once Twice Magic which is the second book in this series. I have to say I am completely hooked on these books. They are filled with exciting adventure and magic. This is another 11/10 from me. I am loving these books so much , I would highly recommend them. I am now on to book 9 which is The Wizards of Once Knock Three Times. This one has 448 pages so may take me a little longer to complete! I will post my review when I have finished it though. Thanks you Jack x
