How to take part

Before the summer holidays, classrooms will get an exclusive video from A.F. Steadman, introducing the challenge and leading them through an elemental personality quiz. During the summer, children read the first book in the series, Skandar and the Unicorn Thief, and complete interactive tasks. All schools signing up will be automatically entered into our prize draw to win one of three fantastic prizes!
