Pupils at a school in Peterborough took part in a city-wide search for books.
Thorpe Primary School students were tasked with looking for 20 books that were hidden across the school grounds and surrounding neighbourhoods, including in Atherstone Avenue, Ledbury Road and Breamore Gardens.
Clues were put up on screens around the school and given out to the pupils as they left, encouraging them to go scavenging when they finished their school day.
The school decided to join in with the National Literacy Trust's 'Look for a Book' campaign.
Saida A, a Year 4 student, said: "The book hunt was such a nice, enjoyable idea. It was like a mystery that needed to be solved and I used the clues to help me."
Izaan N, from Year 1, added: "I used the clues to help me find the book with my parents and felt so happy when I found it!"

Mrs Catley, who co-organized the event with Miss Bothwell, the Reading Lead at Thorpe Primary School, added: "It was wonderful to see the children and parents getting involved together to 'look for a book'.
"Reading for pleasure is something we promote to our children, so that they see it as enjoyable, rather than something they have to do.
"I definitely think we will do a book hunt again, as the feedback from the children has been overwhelmingly positive!"
