There are several Wilkins Farago titles on the 2014 New South Wales Premier’s Reading Challenge booklists.

The Challenge aims to encourage in students a love of reading for leisure and pleasure, and to enable students to experience quality literature.

To complete the challenge, kids must read at least 30 titles (Kindergarten to Grade 2) or 20 titles (older readers) by 29 August 2014. The majority must be from the recommended booklists provided, and you have plenty of Wilkins Farago titles to choose from:
