AN INTERNATIONAL story teller launched a summer reading challenge for youngsters at Pill Library.

Cassandra Wye held two storytelling sessions on amazing myths to mark the start of the mythical maze reading contest.

Children aged four to 11 can sign up to the free challenge at libraries in North Somerset and each child who reads all six books by September 13 will receive a certificate and medal.

They will also be given a bookmark, a poster and three sets of stickers as they progress through the books.
