This is from a children's site promoting reading over the summer break. There is no option to continue here, just "enable tracking or fuck your kid's reading". Very nice.

You can now sign up across Newham's libraries for The Summer Reading Challenge!

Only 1 in 3 children report enjoying reading but it is one of the most powerful indicators of future success. It’s a great way to increase library membership and reading confidence.

Running My Own Race is included in the #summerreadingchallenge #ReadtotheBeat. It's a story about athletics & gaining courage but music runs through it. From the main character soothing himself with it, a love of music being shared by him & his dad to a yr 7 concert, music is an important backdrop.
