Entry From Booking Mama:

Since I want this to be fun and stress-free (just like a summer vacation!), I've decided to include lots of levels, and the first one only challenges you to read one book -- how easy is that? (And I know almost every one of you will be reading MOCKINGJAY before the summer ends.) The names of levels might look familiar to you. Remember those swimming lessons you took at the YMCA when you were a kid?

Levels:

1-3 Books: Polliwog

4-6 Books: Guppy

7-9 Books: Minnow

10-12 Books: Fish

13-15 Books: Flying Fish

16-18 Books: Shark

I am going to sign up for the Guppy Level. I think I should be able to read at least 4 books this summer!
