Here's the secret: If you read for just 20 minutes a day, 5 days a week, you'll reach the magical 1,000-minute mark before you know it. Imagine all the fantastic stories, cool graphic novels, ebooks, and audiobooks you can enjoy during this exciting challenge! Keep track of your reading minutes with your Summer Reading Challenge Log.
