Hot Key Books have a brilliant opportunity for 10 Reading Hack aged groups to read and review The Distance Between Me and the Cherry Tree by Paola Peretti which was published this month. The book is most suited for those in Year 7 and 8 and each group will receive 10 copies of the book.

Hot Key Books are offering visually impaired groups audio versions of the text. 

As part of the offer you will receive: 10 books for your reading group and materials so that you can create a beautiful display in your library.

Synopsis of The Distance Between Me and the Cherry Tree: 

Mafalda is a nine-year-old girl who knows one thing: some
time in the next six months her sight will fail completely.
Can Mafalda find a way through a seemingly dark future
and still go to school, play football and look after her
beloved cat? With the help of her family, and her friends,
Mafalda needs to discover the things that will be important
to her when her sight has failed.

A moving, empowering tale of courage and determination
that will inspire young and old.

This book has been translated from Italian to English.

You have until 9am on the 11 September to pitch for this opportunity.

The books and materials will be sent out to your groups by 17 September and you have until 26 October to read and review this book.

In return for receiving the free books each member of your group will be asked to review the book. If you cannot commit to this, please do not apply.
There is more information about the book and a video from Paola on our Reading Hack blog.
