Mid-Kids

The Rebecca Caudill, Bluestem, and Monarch award books are designed to promote life-long readers, and each challenge is tailored for specific grade levels. If your child completed the challenges on a paper form or the digital Beanstack badge challenge, you still have time to earn a free book and certificate.
