I'm hunting around for my next read...I've a question...I'd like to read a Nanny Piggins book as most are over the page count of 250.
They are aimed at Primary School kids but upper primary- grade 4 and up. Are they allowed cause I don't feel they fall in YA.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

If you think middle grade Laura, then go for it...it has the correct page count:)

[Sharon]

Fyi Anna, if you check the first page on the thread of each challenge it explains the conditions for that particular challenge, each one has a different theme/s.
