Orinda Books, an independent bookstore in Orinda Village, is challenging readers from kids to young adults to read five books and claim a prize from Loard's Ice Cream or Orinda Theatre by Sept. 10. To qualify for the prize, a reader needs to read three books from the list suggested by the shop, and another two books of the reader's choice.
Selections range from first readers books like "Fox the Tiger" by Corey R. Tabor, to non-fiction like "Symphony for the City of the Dead: Dmitri Shostakovich and the Siege of Leningrad" by M.T. Anderson. Included in the list are 28 books with something for everyone from young to not quite so young. All of the books on the list are available at the book shop, but no purchase is needed to participate.
Readers who complete the challenge will also be entered into a raffle for a $50 Orinda Books gift certificate.
Readers can download a scorecard from the shop, that contains the full list of suggested books: www.orindabooks.com/sites/orindabooks.com/files/Summer%20Reading%20for%20Kids%20Scorecard.pdf
